QHY camera loads different driver after reboot #1973

Closed joliveira98 closed 8 months ago

joliveira98 commented 9 months ago

I have built the INDI library to use my QHY5-II color camera with indi-allsky. After building the library and setting up indi-allsky, I rebooted my Raspberry Pi 3, ran "lsusb" and got the following:

cloco2@raspberrypi:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 16c0:296d Van Ooijen Technische Informatica QHY5-CMOS

After running the qhy_ccd_test I got the following output saying that my color camera was a mono camera and that my camera ID was "QHY5-M-":

In indi-allsky the same ID was found (QHY5-M-) and no image was taken. I've decided to unplug and replug the USB again and the driver shown in lsusb had switched to:

cloco2@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/indi-allsky $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1618:0921 QHY-CCD QHY5-II

Here's the qhy_ccd_test again with the new driver loaded showing that it is indeed a color camera with ID "QHY5LII-C-6117da60£33c7354":

After this, I checked indi-allsky and the new color driver was detected and I was already getting images. I rebooted the system again and the incorrect mono driver loaded once again. After the USB unplug and replug the color driver loaded and I got image.

The expected here would be for the color driver to always load... I'm not sure why it is loading the mono driver when I reboot the system. Let me know if you require more details, I can easily reproduce this so let me know if you need more info.

PS: I would have opened this issue in the forum directly but I'm not able to register, the captcha is endlessly looping and I can't submit the register form.
