Temperature readout does not work #4

Closed Witloofboer closed 7 months ago

Witloofboer commented 7 months ago

Hi! We're working with a ZWO ASI 2600 MM, and the camera temperature does not seem to propagate correctly into Python. Whatever the actual temperature is, the temperature that is read is 0. We have used the same version of ASI library in C, where we did succeed in reading the temperature in a similar way to the way it is done in camera.cpp.

Is this an issue specific to our camera, or does it happen with other cameras as well?

Workaround: set "CoolerOn" to 1. After this, temperature readouts will work, even with the cooler turned off.
