indi-asi cannot expose shorter than 2 seconds (with an asi1600 camera) #2096

Closed d33psky closed 2 months ago

d33psky commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug indi-asi (2.4+t202408021338~ubuntu22.04.1) can no longer make exposures shorter than 2 seconds with an asi1600 camera.

To Reproduce Exact steps to reproduce the behavior.

  1. set up indi-asi driver with asi1600 camera
  2. try to make a photo shorter than 2 seconds, either in the ekos camera tab or in the focuser routine
  3. observe [ERROR] Exposure failed after 3 attempts

Expected behavior The same behaviour as a longer-than-2-seconds exposures. For example : [INFO] Taking a 60 seconds frame... [INFO] Exposure done, downloading image... [INFO] Download complete.

knro commented 2 months ago

Is this with SDK v1.34 or 1.35?

d33psky commented 2 months ago

image looks to be 1.35

This is the indi-asi driver from

deb https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu/ jammy main
knro commented 2 months ago

I triggered a rebuild so that the 1.34 can be reinstalled over 1.35

https://code.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+recipe/libasi-stable

d33psky commented 2 months ago

manually downloaded and installed the resulting deb file. Issue is confirmed fixed \o/

Do we have a channel to inform ZWO ? Or is the issue in indi-3rdparty ? (so that 1.36 does not bite again)

daleghent commented 2 months ago

FWIW, we've seen two ASI1600 users complain about this same problem on the NINA Discord. This is with SDK version 1.35 on Windows, of course.

d33psky commented 2 months ago

Thanks for the info @daleghent , I've also heard about a Nina user (via the Libera ##astroimaging channel) with this issue. So it's in the ZWO code and not in indi-3rdparty code. -> closing this ticket.
