I just upgraded to the latest stable version of Kstars (3.3.7 - November
. It did not solve the problem.
This what the Device Manager log says when I try to start the QHY device driver:

As you can see, the PoleMaster is recognized as an initialized device (ID 941). According to the QHY website, the change of the ID from 0940 to 0941 indicates that the firmware has been loaded on the PoleMaster). Nonetheless, the camera can not be opened. I do not understand why. Or what to do about it. My Orion Starshoot, which initially also was not recognized after I updated the Indi drivers from the git is being recognized again (before the recent update, what I had to do was deinstall Indi and reinstall it), but the PoleMaster is still a Zombie.
Here is what happens when I use lsusb and qhy_ccd_test in the terminal;
I know there have been threads on this problem in the past here, but in reading through those, none of the solutions there seem to work for me.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this and what the problem could be?
