Well, some more digging has lead me to this report of it being an fxload issue. The linked version does work (meaning both Ekos & qhy_ccd_test work). Not sure what to do from here to get this properly resolved.
In order to upload a firmware on recent astro cameras (usb3 devices), the distro needs fxload version 2013_01_03
.
Most distros ship with 2008_10_13
, a version that does not support those new devices.
The codebase of the new fxload is the same as the old fxload but with some small changes made by Steven J. Magnani that add support for Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 devices.
TL;DR: you have 3 options:
I have seen this happen many times when I am using a USB3 hub that does not communicate with the QHY product properly, OR the USB3 cable is too long.
I would make sure the power to the camera and the USB3 hub also has the proper power to link properly.
If you can watch your raspberry PI and see when you plug it in if you get the FXload error with tail -f /var/log/syslog
Closing as this is a downstream issue.
Describe the bug I'd installed Astroberry several months ago. Everything in my rig was seen and worked. Until I ran apt upgrade. This originally broke several things. In the subsequent runs, most have started working again, except my QHY camera. I am now building everything from source, and I have the same issue.
I can see my attached QHY camera with lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 013: ID 1618:c600 Cypress WestBridge
However, qhy_ccd_test fails to see it:
In trying to figure out what was going on, I found the following thanks to journalctl:
