I am planning to use the QHY 5L-II-C camera as guider camera. Problem is that I have difficulty connecting to it.

To keep the log as clean as possible I made a profile containing only the Telescope Simulator and the QHY CCD. It does connect when pressing the "Start INDI" button in Ekos.

- When I try to take an image and solve for WCS I never receive an Image,a message "Capturing Image" and a constantly revolving progress indicator.
- When I try to take an image with the camera set as guider, I get a warning: Exposure timeout. Restarting exposure...
- From the moment I take the first image, the red light on the camera starts flashing and never stops.

When I move over to the INDI Control Panel and click Disconnect on the QHY CCD it either refuses to disconnect or it disconnects but when trying to connect again a red error message appears: [ERROR] Connecting to CCD failed (QHY5LII-C-6177e210b82ca44af)

When unable to disconnect the camera, I can get connected again by stopping and restarting in Ekos. But when I check the indiserver with INDI Web Manager, the indi_qhy_ccd driver is running twice.

I started this new topic because I am not sure if this has any connecting with this topic

Has anyone successfully connected this camera on the raspberry Pi 3?
Any suggestion what my bee the problem?
