sorry my mistake, you did install it after i told you. Apologies


it seems you have not installed indiserver devel.

what is stellamate? does it come with indi-dev stuff? Why are you not using astroberry?

try running
sudo apt install indi-full

you should still run the long line just to double check you got everything.

Stellarmate is a product running KStars. It is available as a full hardware/software product or just the OS, which I purchased.

I also have AstroBerry on a separate SD card.

Why am I using Stellarmate? No reason. I thought I'd try the "INDI" thing on it first.
I can always do the same thing for Astroberry.

OK, I just did an sudo apt install indi-full and got a couple of errors.

So I did "sudo apt-get update" and then ran "sudo apt install indi-full" and it worked -no errors.

Long line re-ran and no errors.

I'll try the second part again......

Same error on cmake


stellarmate@stellarmate:~/thx8411_sv305/indi-sv305 $ cd build
stellarmate@stellarmate:~/thx8411_sv305/indi-sv305/build $ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-- Found CFITSIO: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcfitsio.so
CMake Error at /home/stellarmate/thx8411_sv305/cmake_modules/FindINDI.cmake:285 (message):

stellarmate@stellarmate:~/thx8411_sv305/indi-sv305/build $


Web Manager seems to be starting the Driver OK (see attachment).

Then why is Ekos giving me an error? (see attachment)

without knowing which version of indi-sv305 is installed in your system, it will not be easy to say. What we can do is do a reinstall of sv305 and take it from there.

can you check what you see when you run this command

ls /usr/include/libindi/*

also do this:

cd <>/indi-sv305/build/
rm * -f
cmake ../ -DINDI_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/libindi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

I have whatever version is on GitHub right now.

stellarmate@stellarmate:/usr/include $ ls /usr/include/libindi/*
ls: cannot access '/usr/include/libindi/*': No such file or directory

stellarmate@stellarmate:/usr/include $ cd <>/indi-sv305/build/
bash: /indi-sv305/build/: No such file or directory

I have a build folder in /home/stellarmate/thx8411_sv305/indi-sv305

It contains a CMakeFiles folder and a CMakeCache.txt file both created this morning.

Are these the items you want me to delete?

The driver has been accepted to INDI 3rd party repository and the primary Ubuntu PPA + StellarMate are now updated and contain the driver. No need to compile directly unless you really need to.

Just got back from a conference.
Should I keep trying to build a driver or can I download the finished one from somewhere.
Thanks.

I found an issue just now in the PPA build, so it should be available in the PPA in the next couple of hours hopefully.

Was the issue fixed? For those of us who'd built the driver locally, can we now use the 3rd party driver repository? And is that update via regular sudo apt update? (sorry, I've been finishing school and am now back ready to get the SV305 ready as a guider)
Thanks

I am assuming it was, because AstroDMX was just relased for the RPi and it works perfectly with my SV305. I downloaded and installed the 32-bit Debian Installer.
I am still waiting on news for KStars.

It's in the official repos:
sudo apt-get -y install indi-sv305

I've update everything, still cannot connect. I see three svbony options now available to indi profile:

SV305 CCD
SVBONY
SVBONY SV305

All fail, two - "..ccd" and "..sv305" fail with: "indy driver crashed" and log shows: "Unable to establish: + SVBONY SV305 Please ensure the device is connected and powered on." and the other can't be found.
Any ideas? At this point I'm considering starting over, as the driver is now avail. If i were to go that route, how would I remove all of the existing SV305-related build files/folders/remnants? Any considerations to be aware of re: removing those files (file/folder paths, anything like that in Linux?). Thanks

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

First I renamed all 3 of the indi_sv305_ccd files I had placed in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and /usr/lib, that i had copied to try to get it to work, to indi_sv305_ccd.old.

Next I renamed indi_sv305_ccd.xml in /usr/share/indi to indi_sv305_ccd.xml.old.

Then I ran the "sudo apt-get -y install indi-sv305" as suggested by knro.

Then I reselected the "SVBONY SV305" driver in Web Manager and Started it.

Then I reselected that same driver in my Profile, saved it, and pressed "Start Ekos"

And Voila! (see attachment)

The only error is a "set gain" error but I'm sure that will be fixed.

Thank you knro and all who helped in this endeavour.

INDI Rocks.
