I also own an iEQ30 Pro, and you don't need an ST4 camera for PEC record. Using serial pulses works nice for me.
I did many tests in "real conditions" (on Mars) these days. No more "Gain settings" issues. Pull Request on it's way...
Thanks again Sarwar.
Sorry to be so late. Clouds, clouds, clouds.... One month of clouds...
I'm waiting for an SV305 Pro sample from SVBony, in order to fix the driver.
I've been using my SV305 (standard) as a guide camera with PHD2. It does really well with the driver, and the gain error on startup isn't an issue with guiding. Thanks again for all your work!
Yes the skies have been poor lately in oxfordshire as well. but did get some clear skies yesterday and the day before. And the camera did stop responding on both nights after some use. Not entirely sure. logs show time out to calls. Restarting driver/indiserver did not help - had to power cycle the camera. Not entirely sure if it is the hardware or the driver to be honest. It has been cold, but i donot suspect that was the case. Did you notice just timeouts to calls made by the driver?
The last couple of sessions I used the Windows driver for the sv305, since that supports on-camera guiding. I was having stability issues even with that until I switched the camera to 8-bit. I kept getting what seemed like overexposed frames.
I do recall however, that when using the indi driver via astroberry, I would have to reseat the usb cable to get the camera to reconnect. Restarting driver/indiserver likewise did not help. This was about a month ago though, so I may be misremembering. I'll pay special attention to it the next chance I get.
You're welcome, but you know, I'm just a selfish guy that wanted to use this camera on Linux
@Sarwar
No, I nether experienced this timeout issue, but like Gingerbread, I noticed that switching multiple times between 8 bits and 12 bits hangs sometimes the camera.
A cold restart is then needed.
Back for 4 weeks of confinement in France... Damn COVID...
I have the sv305 Pro. As far as I can tell, the camera functions the same as the regular sv305 with the indi-svbony driver, in that it does work. It can be a bit fiddly though.
The only functionality missing from the Windows driver is ST4 guiding.
Thanks a lot ginger,
When you say that is a bit fiddly, What do you reffer abaut?
Is complicated to set for work?
I supose that for usb3, is a little bit more quicker to take photos, don't you?
Thanks a lot.
