Im having an issue with making this camera work in bulb mode with Ekos and Indi-Gphoto. So from what I had read, I built a serial cable to control the shutter for the camera, and that works in windows with no issues with DSLR Shutter (Stark-labs). I can make multiple long exposures with the cable.

My issue is when i try and use it with gphoto in ekos. When i plug in the device in the Ekos VM and load up the USB device, a new port shows up as /dev/ttyUSB0. So i put that as the shutter release port. And then when I try and take any kind of exposure, a few different things have happened. Ive done the same procedure about a 100 times now and everytime the same results:

• The driver starts taking an exposure and starts counting down but the shutter release cable never gets triggered. - Alot to most of the time
• The driver throws an error that it failed to open serial port - The only times i can find any errors in the log.
• The exposure light just turns yellow and becomes unresponsive and i have to disconnect the camera and restart indi to be able to do anything at all. - Alot of the time
