Gunther Fleerackers created a new topic ' Raspberry PI 4 and ZWO ASI 120MM mini' in the forum. 4 years ago

Last weeks I upgraded my rig with a Raspberry PI 4 and a Pegasus Astro Ultimate Powerbox V2. On the raspberry PI 4 I have installed the latest version Astroberry.

My rig uses a ZWO ASI 120MM mini guiding camera which worked excellent with my pervious Raspberry PI 3 with Stellarmate. Now it is acting strange. When using Ekos the ZWO ASI 120MM won't work always. Sometimes it stops and I get the message "getExposureStatus failed".

I read in previous threads that this could be a firmware issue and USB3. But the camera works well with PHD2 and it is connected through USB2 ports.

What do I miss or can I fix ?

Here is the part of the log when it goes wrong :
