So using Ubuntu Mate x64 on the raspberry pi 4 i was able to install everything and run indiserver, however the camera is not detected. Oddly, on Ubuntu on my laptop, the camera comes up as:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID f266:9a0a CKCamera CKCamera
But on the raspberry pi:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID f266:9a0a
Same ID, no name ! No sure where to go on that one....
That's not a big issue. There is a file that translates the USB VID/PID to a description. That file needs to be updated. wiki.debian.org/HowToIdentifyADevice/USB
I managed to release one of my pi boards (an old PI 2, armv6) for testing.
There is an issue in the SVBONY SDK. One function is missing in the library file. I just sent them a message.
Best regards,
Blaise
PS : My wife is back to home, but she can't walk nor drive for the moment. I now have 3 children at home, instead of 2
Driver runs on Ubuntu Mate 20.04 x86 on rpi4. I had some trouble with the driver reporting camera not found unless indiserver was started as sudo. Will try and investigate. Cant wait to try this out tonight. I will report on issues if any are found.
Hi, apologies if this has been answered in detail - I have this camera and want to use for guiding with an rPi4 & Astroberry. A few weeks ago I attempted to install the driver mentioned in these threads (I believe) but no luck, camera wasn't recognized using any of the software in AB (Kstars/EKos, etc). I have some time again to work on it and I was wondering if maybe I had installed the wrong driver (or incorrectly)? Can someone help point to the location of the latest driver? Is there a guide for installing, in case I did so incorrectly? And can this cam be used as a guide cam with this driver? Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just really anxious to get this part sorted out so I can determine definitively where the issue(s) is. Thanks!
Hi, I have this camera (SV 305) w/intention of using as a guide camera (and possibly a bit of imaging). I have an rPi4 w/astroberry and a couple or so weeks ago attempted to install a driver referenced in these threads, but was unsuccessful - no software would recognize the camera (Kstars/Ekos, etc). As there are several possibilities why it didn't work, could I be pointed to the location of the most current driver, and are there any guides or instructions for install in an astroberry-flashed rPi4? I should also ask if the/any driver would allow it to function as a guider? (I presume yes). My astroberry is a standard install. I do have a powered USB hub that has worked fine with the equipment, and I've tested the SV305 both through various ports on it as well as straight off the rPi4 with no luck. I HAVE connected the cam straight to the laptop and that worked fine. Thanks for any help!
build library:
change to the ~/libsv305-build directory
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/libsv305
make
sudo make install
build driver:
change to the ~/indi-sv305-build directory
cmake ~/sv305project/indi-3rdparty/indi-sv305
make
sudo make install
to start the indiserver
sudo indiserver indi-sv305-ccd
i had to start the indiserver as sudo, though im unsure why at this point. perhaps because the library and driver were installed as sudo.
this library is still experimental (though its working quite well).
