Hello,

I have the same problem with my QHY 183C. Into the Control Panel it is not possible to setup a temperature to focus. Into the Capture tab, the temperature reached is that of the control panel. But I can't change it.

No way. On the TB, Kstars is 3.4.0 version. I use a powered usb3 hub.

Hello,

I use à Tinkerboard in order to manage my device by remote on my laptop. The connection between the laptop and the TB is OK. I create a profil on TB Kstars with Telescope Simulator and QHY CCD.
The QHY 224C (and QHY 183C) are not detected. The message is "No QHY camera detected. Power on?". I use an USB3 hub powered.

A solution ?

I have re installed the driver indi-gphoto and libgphoto2 is installed.

ALELUIA ! It runs ! I installed the SDK as you say. Thank you very very very much. I can keep my computer with its real 10-hour battery life !

Thank you for your message. I try as su, but no way. At the connection I have a windows with the message "Indi driver crashed , Continue - No".
I had installed the last skf from QHY website. Now the driver crashed every time. I try to come back to the previous one.

Hi Jasem,

thank for your help. Could you be more specific about your answer please ? What should I do ?

One day later. I install an Indigo server. With Kstars, no change, same issue. But the camera runs perfectly with the Indigo Control Panel ????????

I am feeling a little bit alone. Help Jasem !

Finaly, the issue is caused by the power of the USB port not enought on this laptop and others. I try the camera with the laptop newer than mine and the result was the same.
So I bought this afternoon an usb3 hub powered 2A, and the camera becames a c184 type.
It runs well with Firecapture. With Kstars I have the connection. I can modify the parameter panel. But it fails to capture an image. Not enought power ? I'll send next the log. I am not at home.
I am more relax than the last days

I'm continuing my investigations. I installed a Win10 on my laptop, broadcast driver wdm, ascom driver and system driver.
EZCAP seems to runs.
Firecapture recognises the camera but do anything.
Sharpcap runs with the ascom driver, slowly.

It seems to be an OS problem of Ubuntu. I don't know how to do.

No, it's not working. The camera is recognized but always with error:

I think I find a solution either the solution. I launch a live Ubuntu 19.10. The camera is well recognized into a terminal. I am installing this version . And I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I think it is a problem with the laptop. It recognizes badly the camera, instead the 224C is correctly recognized.
