I have a new QHY5-III 585C guide camera which I am trying to get working with kstars/ekos (3.65 and 2.0.2) on ubuntu. I have been using a QHY600M for imaging with no problem. Adding the 585 it doesn't show up in Indi control panel, even if I unplug the QHY600. Looking at syslog it seems like it is repeatedly connecting and disconnecting:

this just continues to cycle with the device number incrementing. Both cameras are connecting through a Pegasus Powerbox Advance Gen 2 (the USB3 ports). Any ideas what might be going on?

It looks like there is no entry for QHY5-III 585C in 85-qhyccd.rules - could this be an issue with SDK version?

I'll try to update the SDK in the next week and hopefully they included it in the rules file.

For reference in case anyone has this problem the issue was I had an 85-qhyccd.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d which was leftover from previous self compile of the sdk. This overrides /lib/udev/rules.d which was updating so I missed the newer cameras. Deleting the /etc version fixed it.

After updating to latest version of kstars and Indi 2.0.6 which includes new QHY driver I again can't connect to QHY5III585C guide camera. Unlike previously there isn't a /etc/udev/rules.d/85-qhyccd.riules file and the /lib/udev/rules.d file has a 585 listing

The log states:
