I compiled latest git of INDI (1.8.0-30_gefbca51e) and kstars (3.3.4-686_g0e9825067) yesterday, but when using it with my ASI1600 I had problems with the connection(?).
I could connect, take some image in the capture tab, but when I switched to INDI control panel and wanted to set camera temperature, the camera wouldn't respond anymore. I disconnected from INDI and restarted the server, but in the next round, after init and focusing, when I tried to sync the mount in Align again no more connection.
After I had a third encounter of this type I went back to the previous INDI (1.8.0-16_g4d9b178d), with that no more issues.
I have an ASI1600mm Pro + ASI290mm guiding. I have the last version of INDI too:
Here's the git log :

I'm using it right now to create a new set of dark frames. Everything works fine.
Thanks Marc!
Yes, the report probably was a false alarm. I've just recompiled with todays updates, and at the moment the camera seems to run flawlessly. But it's still daylight, so I can't really test focus/align stuff....
Now it's dead again, after running autofocus. Starting an exposure it just shows the spinning icon, but no message Even 'disconnect' in the INDI control tab seems not to work. I had to disconnect and terminate the indiserver.
Just restarted everything, including debug. Ran autofocus, which did nonsense (it never went past the minimum, likely not even was close, but continued to go forth and back in the slope...)
So I stopped AF, wanted to restart - camera doesn't respond anymore.
Log is attached, but I couldn't see much in there. Maybe someone else does.
And again. This time I used only capture module. First a single exposure, then I used the continuous update. After a while I stopped it, after that camera is gone. So it's not the AF, but seemingly the fast/continuous readout?
Edit: The system log is full of usb reset messages,
Aug 13 21:54:58 astro1 kernel: usb 2-4: reset SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
usb 2-4 is the ASI1600.
Edit2: No, those I also get with the 1.8.0-16_g4d9b178d version, one for each started exposure.
Yup, there's definitely something wrong with the current head, as compiling version from just before the C++ std::thread changes works fine, but current head gets stuck quite easily during autofocus with my ASI178MC. I thought at first that disabling subframing would have helped, but that was not the case after all, it just took a bit longer to hand. Have to debug that later, busy imaging tonight.
Yes, seems to help. I tried the method from yesterday, running frame looping in capture, and stop it. Several times, with different exposure times. No hang, next exposure works as expected
I'll also test again with the autofocus next night session, but that won't be before saturday...
