inova should have made the Ubuntu package for 16.04 since it's LTS at any rate or they can submit their driver to INDI for inclusion so they don't have to worry about building it, like all other manufacturers do.

Indi v1.5.0 has been released with a driver for Inova cameras: indi_inovaplx_ccd. It works fine for me both on my laptop and on my raspberry :)

The driver is not installed automatically when you update indi, you have to install it manually with the sdk:
sudo apt-get install indi-inovaplx libinovasdk

Hello,

I Try the indi_inova_ccd driver Version 1.3.0. in this context :
Camera i-Nova NBC-M
Kstars and Ekos,
Ubuntu Mate V 16.4

I can only connect the camera!
I look the xml file and the indi documentation and found two errors in the file indi_inova_ccd.xml :
  • in the driver the label the label is "i.nova" Camera and in the xml file it is "i-nova Camera"
  • the driver use a skeleton, in this case the element "device" shall have a "skek" attribute with th file name of the skeleton
I modify the file V (see attachement) ande the behavor of the driver change :
  • I can set exposure, binning and the frame's parameters
  • I obtain the "General info"
  • I cannot set gain and black level"
  • The value of the gain an the black level included in the file "indi_inova_ccd_sk" does not appears in the tab "Image setting"oI cannot set gain and black level"

I Think the problem is limited to gain and black level parameters.

I see that the INDI V1. version is released. I try to update my INDI version. An update has been performed but I remain under INDI version 1.4 201707201842.
It was also impossible to obtain the new driver inovaPlx.
How must I do to obtain INDI 1.5 and inovaPlx driver?

Are you using the PPA? This is how to get daily builds for INDI.

Hello,

I update to ubuntu mate 17.04 and INDI 1.5
I add the indi_inovaplx driver
I Try the driver in this context :

Camera i-Nova NBC-M
Kstars and Ekos,
Ubuntu Mate V 17.04

I cannot connect the camera! the driver crashes !! The behavior looks like the behavior of the i-Nova 1.2.6 driver

I look the xml file and found one error in the file indi_inovaplx_ccd.xml :

it calls indi_inova_ccd driver instead of indi_inovaplx_ccd.

I had modified this file (See attachment indi_inovaplx_ccd-xm.png)
After this change :
  • I can connect the camera
  • I obtain the "General info" tab ( See attachment "General Info
  • I can set exposure ( See attachment "Main Control-001)
  • I cannot set very short exposure < 10 ms ( See attachment "Main Control-002)
  • I can set binning and the frame's parameters ( See attachment "Image Settings")
  • I cannot gain and black level ( See attachment "Image Settings)
In the tab "General Info" the value of the field "Version" has not the right value (It will be better to know the version of the driver)
In the tab "CCD" the value are not the same than the value in the tabs "Image Settings or "Main Control". Why ??

Hello Philippe,
The inovaplx driver is simply the old driver, but released with open-source license. Many parts of its code refer to the old driver, so be patient, I'll do a pull request with the changes you suggest.
Thank you, BTW for your useful feedback.
Best Regards,
Ilia.

I think I fixed most of these issues now. Regarding why Image Settings and CCD Values I'm not sure, could they be maximum values? Check PPA tomorrow.
