Hi,

some months ago I discovered INDI and Ekos and it seems a nice solution to control and use my mount (PMC8-EXOS2GT) and camera (Nikon z6). Together with an Raspian Pi4 it seems an nice an portable setup.

Now I've bought a QHY Polemaster and saw, that I could use it with Kstars/Ekos. I've installed the Polmaster program and it seems to work (camera shows a picture, but till now I could unfortunately not tried it with polaris).

But the I also noticed, that it was not longer possible to connect the QHY Polmaster with Ekos. qhy_ccd_test shows:

qhy_ccd_test
QHY Test CCD using SingleFrameMode, Version: 1.00
QHYCCD|QHYCCD.CPP|InitQHYCCDResource|START
QHYCCD|QHYCCD.CPP|InitQHYCCDResourceInside|START

SDK resources initialized.
No QHYCCD camera found, please check USB or power.

But the camera is connected (Polmaster program works)

When I run kstars with "sudo kastars" the QHY Polmaster was found, same with

sudo qhy_ccd_test

Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this?

Thanks and best regards,
Mirko

PS. I'am not very experienced in these things, so please bear with me ;-)
