Thanks for the speedy feedback, guys!

I updated EkosVM and the image is now the same as that taken from the Pi. Both are reporting version 1.6. I've attached a screenshot.

The connection also seems flakier now. After I've taken a shot, I'm usually unable to take another until I disconnect the device and shut down the local indi server and then fire it back up.

Several weeks ago, I started toying with the idea of INDI device development. I grabbed Eric Holmes' OpenSSAG code and was able to build it without issue. I was never able to actually use it successfully, though. When trying to connect I would always get the message from the library that it couldn't find the camera. The camera was showing up with no issue in the list of USB devices, but something was evidently going wrong (probably with my code). At that point, I realized I was quickly getting out of my depth for device driver development, so I let it go.

I then decided to try the indi_qhy_ccd driver in EkosVM and it just worked! I always thought the SSAG's ID prevented it from showing up as a QHY device (but what do I know?).

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help, even if it is just testing new releases of the QHY libs against the SSAG.

Thank you!
