I recently purchased and set up stellarmate on my RPi4 and my optical trains are Canon 5D MarkIV and Orion SSAG Pro as guider. I took some guide camera shots and they came fully exposed as a white image even when the cap is closed. Wondering if this camera is supported and if there are any tweaks to make it work.

This could also be due to the file system of the NVMe drive.
Maybe you need to format it for File system ext4?

If you are having Drive mount issues, you can also automount your external storage.

Yes update_indi_core should be enough

I can test it,

If i update the indi files through “ update_indi_core” via terminal would that work.

I am not a programmer but I am aware of compiling source code but haven’t done so before.

It would be great if you would also test the update! I just modified the INDI driver to also send guide pulses directly to the mount so no update of the astrotrac firmware is required.

The updated driver is already available on the INDI master branch. Are you able to build INDI from source for your platform?

No, we have not solved it yet. The camera is on a remote site. This doubles this troubles. Our next try is to replace the USB cables, which were fine for our previously used ASI183-

Hi, I hope its of use. However if you are using the client terminal, as opposed to the package of classes, then I don't think it will work under windows as it uses the standard library curses module, which I understand only works on Linux.
If you are running it on Linux, and you are just using windows to ssh to the linux device, then it probably will work ok, if your windows ssh terminal is curses friendly.
In either case, if you are doing any testing please ensure you have the latest version 0.1.1 which has just been uploaded to pypi.
Good luck!

Hi. Just curious. Did you aver solve this?
JTOL, the only other issue I had with the veTEC was when changing to a newer sdk.
With the latest 55 series, ours looks like this. Some older (known to work) ones we also kept, just in case.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 abr 2 15:23 libomegonprocam.so -> libomegonprocam.so.55

Hi

I don’t think i got it to work to be honest, are you trying to send dither pulses through to the mount directly?

Or via st4 connection and guidecam.

I think that’s the issue the mount only accepts pulses through the st4 connection and i don’t think i saw a change in the mount with the same method you describe.

How have you modified the code to allow that.

Id love to try it out , ive been using the am5 for some things but theres no comparison in quality of the subs on the astrotrac but little things like this make the final data potentially limiting to process.

Hi Bernard,

Thank you for sharing your work.

I will test it and give it a try.

We are in the development process of creating an application for Windows for EME purposes.
This pure Python implementation of indiclient could be beneficial for our project.

best regards,
Guillaume

I'm attempting to take a long spectral image using PHD2 as a guide. Every so often you'll get the message that PHD2 has lost contact with the camera. Why I don't know. Sometimes, not all the times, the camera will abort its capture; I've been trying to get a 10 minute capture for over an hour with no luck.

When taking a spectrum, I don't care if the guiding goes away for a few moments. PHD2 always seems to re-connect to the camera and continue guiding. What I don't want is to lose all the data in the camera buffer.

What I'm searching for in Ekos is the parameter that basically says "Don't abort camera if tracking gets lost for a few moments."

Thanks,
Bob

Another possible cause is that the SSD is not formatted.

Stellarmate reseted my password and now I can connect.
It seems there are some problems with special characters.

Did you mount it?
To use the recognized drive, you need to mount it so that it is recognized as a file system.

I don't know if my example will help. I have booted with the internal SSD without adding anything to the config.txt file and it is recognized.
In this case, since it is a boot device, it is mounted automatically without user intervention.

Hello,
Did you make sure, the reverse directions were toggled off?
If you face any issues in the SM APP or any issues that you are stuck at, you can also create a ticket on stellarmate.com to get help from SM support and fix your issue immediately.

Hello,
Sorry for the issue.
We will try to find a possible solution for rotating the devices. It is always in Landscape mode by default.

I just added a new NVMe drive to my Raspberry Pi5 (which is running Stellarmate OS).
I just want to use this as extra storage space.

I enabled the PCIe function by editing /boot/firmware/config.txt as follows:
dtparam=pciex1

I rebooted, and can't see the new drive.
However, if I use the Raspberry Pi imager ap, it shows that the drive is working and labeled it "TEAM TM8FP6001T - 1024.2 GB" and when I use the file manager it shows up as "TEAM TM8FP6001T.drive"

But when I try to open it, I get an error that the drive is not valid.

What do I need to do next to have it available as a storage device?

I resurrect this old discussion.... maybe it can be useful to someone. I used an ESP8266, connecting a NEO6 GPS module to the TX and RX pins. As firmware, I used the one available on this website: www.forward.com.au/pfod/CheapWifiShield/...MEAbridge/index.html and everything worked immediately! Be sure to follow the instructions on the website, download all the necessary libraries, etc. There are two versions of the code, one without an HTML configuration page: you have to configure the Wi-Fi access data directly in the file; the second one instead has a configuration page accessible via web browser but works only as a hotspot... so maybe less useful in our case. Now I'll be able to insert the GPS into my allsky weather station and use it to synchronize the position and time with OnStep and Kstars.
