MI CCD capture abort was created by Niki

Hi guys.

Me again with new problems out of nothing...

ATM working on a Stellarmate.

Since some days my Moravian G2 8300 colour starts to "abort capture" out of nothing...

Yesterday it happened right after starting a 240 Pictures night. Problem after the first picture... I had a look if it works, then the first picture was taken so i thought ok, i´ll go to bed. and when i got up today i had to see, that it was the only picture taken.

I can stop kstars the, and restart, but the MI CCD won´t connect annymore.

What i have to do is to stop indiservers, end kstars, take out power of the mi ccd, wait some time, put power back, start indi webserver and kstars and reconnect, and not even this is a 100% guarantee that it works.

So i took some flats today in the morning. 7 Flats were taken, and then the same fault again.
I tokk 20 Darks whixh worked fine and after that i wanted to take 100 bias.
51 were taken, then capture aborted...

This is quite frustrating...

You can find logs here...

Ideas?

Hello Jasem!

OK, thats what i thought too, a timeout. Bu t why, and why so random?
Do you think that maybe it could have to do with the fact, that i run KStars on my Macbook, controlling the Stellarmate remote so that it takes too long for the pictures to be uploaded to my macbook?
Would it be faster to save them to a hd or stick attached directly to the Stellarmate?

Or could the timeout-time be set somewhere?

And why does the cam freeze after this?

Greetings

So I'm not sure why this happens. I guess you can try different scenarios and see if any have any real effects on the outcome.

Had another try last night. Same procedure. Cam took 16 of 120 frames then suddenly CCD capture aborted...

This time i changed the path for the pictures to the stellarmate itself, so i eliminated that it could be due to bad network connection.
I have last nights log here. The problem started at 00:14:14

This is quite frustrating. I will test tonight with running kstars on stellarmate direct, not over client/remote. Maybe the problem occurs on my mac?

Any ideas welcome...

Made a test, running kstars direct on Stellarmate.
100 darks with 5 secs.
22 taken --> ccd capture aborted...

WTF?

So in 3.4.2 KStars (coming up in few days) when a driver times out, it gets restarted. Can you please test the MacOS 3.4.2 beta and see if that helps in any way?

OK, i´ll have a go on this.

Problem is that after i had the same problem running Kstars on mac --> remote on stellarmate, AND running KSTARS direct ON the stallarmate.
In both cases the timeout occured.

So i wanted to have a go, and connected the cam DIRECT to my macbook, running kastars nad making a local profile.
In this case, the mi ccd driver crashes instantly on startup "indi mi ccd driver crashed"

I test the beta version asap, to see if this is solved too in this case.

Parallel i´ll have a try running KDE on my notebook in the latest stable version, seeing, if the problem occures here too. Because if this happens, i think i have a camera problem...

Hello!

First i am glad that thanks to Jasem i got my old Profile back.
Dont know, but somehow i made a new one...
So tcm75 and me is the same person...

Now to the problem.

In a long Teamviewer Session Jasem found out that the problem is USB-related to the ARM device.

So it seems there is no real solution to this in the combination Rpi3 and Moravian G2.

I am back on my Laptop with Linux now, and there, this problem does not occur.

Jsut wanted to keep the interrested people informed.
