I had the same idea. ( KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03c3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f01", MODE="0666" )
So I tried the KERNEL rule without user, then adding myself to the users group, then changing the GROUP="users" parameter to my primary group.

Non of that worked on two Kubuntu systems. I have not tried on Rasbian yet, but might get the chance on saturday. When I'm at my obsy I will try on my Odroid with Lubuntu too. Thats my imaging server.

The ACTION=="add" rule does not name a group, so that should be fine.

Sorry Rumen, you posted while I was composing my masterpiece.

I have thought of the group problem and had put myself in the group users to make sure this was not the issue.

Anyhow as requested I have tried the modifed rule
# ZWO filterwheel
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03c3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f01", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="ZWO_EFW"

This gives the same report when I start indiserver as a normal user and try to connect to it in EKOS
2017-01-05T22:03:33: Connect(): EFWOpen() = 4

P.S Magnus this is on my raspberry PI running Jessie
P.P.S more /etc/issue

Still works (Kubuntu).
May I ask what the importance of the GROUP="users" is for? 0666 is (6 = 4 + 2 [r+w]), so owner rw, group rw, everyone rw? Should not make a difference?

//Edit: To require a user to be member of users to have access to device it should be 0660

Both of these rules work on my pi 3 Raspbian GNU/Linux 8, Kernel 4.438-v7+

My indiserver is
indiserver -v
2017-01-06T07:29:10: startup: indiserver -v
Usage: indiserver [options] driver [driver ...]
Purpose: server for local and remote INDI drivers
INDI Library: 1.3.1
Code $Rev$. Protocol 1.7.
...

I can use the wheel with
$ indiserver -v indi_asi_wheel
as my ordinary user without sudo
#ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="03c3", ATTR{idProduct}=="1f01", MODE="0666"
# Filter Wheel
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03c3", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f01", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"

Super!

Hi guys!
I am taking the advantage of this issue to ask you something related to this argument.
I'd like to buy a zwo mini wheel, but I don't understand if it is recognized by ekos. I proudly use ekos with a Macbook pro in which the kstars app is installed locally (i do not connect remotely).
Can you give me info before I buy the wheel?
Thank you in advance!

Hi!
I have this filter wheel and it works very well with my ASI1600. I use a Macbook pro too so there should´t be any problems..
