Using Indi cameras #23

Open zsarosi opened 2 months ago

zsarosi commented 2 months ago

Hi, I am using CC on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04). Recently I have a ZWO ASI120mm mini camera, that as far as I know, has only Indi drivers under Linux. The camera beside it a great guiding camera, can be used with a lens as a collimation camera too. Unfortunately, I haven't find any way to map it to a v4l2 device. The only way to use it with CC is to display the camera stream in a Indi client e.g. EKOS, and overlay the CC. Is there any plans to use Indi cameras directly in the software? Thanks, and keep up the great job! Zoltan

Hi Zoltan! Thank you for your suggestion. Yes It crossed my mind that it would be a great thing to support INDI cameras as well. Maybe in future versions.
