Hi - am new to the forum but want to come back on this topic. I have the same problem with this Rising Cam ATR3CMOS26000KPA
This camera is the same as the Touptek and Altair 2600/IMX571 versions

Try to get working with Rpi4 Astroberry/INDI - same error in the earlier post
This camera works ok windows with their app but I can't get the INDI Touptek/Toupcam driver to work on Rpi4/Astroberry
In Astroberry (2.03) KSTARS (3.4.3) /Device Manager/ Indi (1.8.6) setup I get the same popup noted above when I try to run the Toupcam local server

"No Toupcam detected.Power on ? INDI" so that I dont get the INDI control panel

Although the KSTARS/Device Manager log window shows some activity

2021-09-13T11:47:38: startup: /usr/bin/indiserver -v -p 7625 -m 300 -r 0 -f /tmp/indififo08b990fc 2021-09-13T11:47:38: listening to port 7625 on fd 3FIFO: start indi_toupcam_ccdFIFO: Starting driver indi_toupcam_ccd2021-09-13T11:47:38: Driver indi_toupcam_ccd: pid=1452 rfd=4 wfd=7 efd=82021-09-13T11:47:38: Client 5: new arrival from 127.0.0.1:58260 - welcome!

Investigationlsusb says for the camera USB 3 coinnection
" can't get debug descriptor: Resource temporarily unavailable"

dmesg appears to see the usb
[ 2156.874574] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0547, idProduct=12b7, bcdDevice= 0.01
[ 2156.874592] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 2156.874608] usb 2-1: Product: USB3.0 Camera
[ 2156.874622] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: TP

Tried to upgrade INDI - did it fully work ?
Astroberry seems not to have been updated for a while - last year ?
I tried to upgrade INDI to 1.9.1 and some updates appear to have "taken" but KSTARS and INDI's Web Manager still run 1.8.6
Is there some way to config Astoberry/Kstars or even INDO to start V1.9.1 ?
I believe that some parts of 1.9.1 are alive as the popup for the Poer On message noted above changed slightly after the upgrade.
How to check which version of indi_toupcam_ccd is really running ?

indiserver driver indi_toupcam_ccd
2021-09-14T21:54:23: startup: indiserver driver indi_toupcam_ccd
2021-09-14T21:54:23: bind: Address already in use
2021-09-14T21:54:23: good bye

Is there a way to get the driver status ?

I saw a remark Jasen about reducing the USB speed for the Toputek but I dont see how to do that prior to getting the INDI control panel

I am willing to help debug this

Hello,I have just bought a ATR3CMOS26000KMA and I had the same problem. Error Message: "No Toupcam detected.Power on ?" I found in the driver source code that my camera was not in the list of supported cameras. So I added the cam with the USB vendor id and product id, compiled the driver and it works now :) But I have no idea if this is the correct way to solve the problem and if there are some side effects. I will continue testing... And I have no experience on how to include this change into the repositiory. Can I simply make a pull request in github?

Best regards
Jens

Hi Jens and Jasem
Ok an update from my side. I have managed to get the  ATR3CMOS26000KMA working on RPI3 and 4 / Astroberry at least some 1st basic operation.

1) I have checked power supply and current to make sure that the RPi doesnt report low voltage as I was getting quite some voltage drop to the camera (it draws just over 2Amp when chilling

2) I've tried different powered USB2 and USB3 hubs but that had no effect on the report of usb resource availability so I pushed on regardless

3) With some help I've tested the sample python apps provided with the Rising Cam python / linux SDK and they both work so its possible to communicate with and use the imaging side of the camera - these use the nncam lib

4) For INDI I tried all of the camera variants in the =11.0ptindi_toupbase.xml file and found that the Levenuk driver based upon nncam will work - its a not great to use but its possible to control most aspects of the camera including capturing FITS image file and creating SER videos - but only from the INDI control panel. To achieve this:
   a) I swappend the libnncam.so file from the SDK with that on the std Astroberry build

5) I havent managed to get oacapture working, I think I need to learn how to add a camera because the default install doesnt appear to offer named cameras. I found an old post on that indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/1630-st4-ca...i/27397.html?start=0 but havent managed to figure out exactly what to do

@Jens - I am still new to INDI so please can you provide the steps you used to build the INDI driver ? did you have success then with oacapture or other RPI/Astroberry/Raspain capture porg ?

@Jasem - thanks for the link - yes - seems the same

I'll invstigate further this week and try to do a full write up - share here and back with Rising Cam

Thanks Gray
