Hello all,

I need some help. I've a camera QHY5III 174, used for guiding in spectroscopy.

The camera works fine when connected on a desktop PC (Ubuntu 18.04, Kstars 3.5.0 Beta, and Indilib 1.8.6).
But when I connect the same camera to a Raspberry Pi 4 up-to-date ((Ubuntu 20.04, Kstars 3.5.0 Beta, and Indilib 1.8.6), the camera is not recognized : when I start Ekos, I've a message saying "QHY camera is not connected. Power on ?"
I've the same issue with another system (Odroid RC4, Ubuntu 18.04 & indilib 1.8.6). On this system, when I run the server manually (indiserver indi_qhy_ccd), I can see an error message when trying to connect Ekos : "Driver indi_qhy_ccd: SDK not support this camera now" (I don't see the same error with the Raspberry).

The only difference between working and not-working config is Raspberry vs desktop PC and Ubuntu 18.04 vs 20.04 (by the way, I've read on this forum that the Atik driver may work only with Ubuntu 20.04... and I've another camera - an Atik one - that I must run at the same time ; which means I need the QHY work in Ubuntu 20.04).

Any idea ? Any chance it can work ?

Thank you for all what you're doing - this is amazing.

Best regards,

François (Shelyak Instruments)
