Sorry if this is really dumb but I'm something of a novice and am unsure how to diagnose/resolve hence seeking advice.
Setup: Raspberry Pi3 loaded with IndiLib (not Kstars/Ekos). Two devices connected to RPi iEQ45 Pro and Canon DSLR. KStars/Ekos on Ubuntu. Everything loaded/setup within the last few days.
Problem: Server on RPi starts through Indi Web Manager fine. Connect to (Start) remote Indiserver from Ubuntu KStars/Ekos connects to server Ok, iEQ45 will connect and work fine but the Canon DSLR always says "Cannot open camera: Power OK?"
Note: I do not have a serial/usb shutter release and am only using the single USB cable to he camera. I see in the Indi control panel Canon DSLR>Main control (tab) that the Shutter release is "green" - don't know if this is because it is not configured or something else.
Tried (stopping and restarting indiserver between different attempts:
1. Switch off DSLR and switch on again
2. lusb (on RPi) lists the Canon as being connected (and lusb when Canon switched-off does not list the device)
3. Plug Canon into Mac and it talks to Mac fine
4. Tried starting indiserver from command line (rather than through remote indi web manager) and no difference
5. Tried starting without iEQ45 (i.e. only the Canon)
6. Tried both Canon DSLR and Gphoto CCD (in the Indi Web Manager - thought they were "the same" but tried both)
Details: Don't know what info might help. In the Ekos Canon DSLR INDI Control Panel Name: Gphoto CCD, Exec indi_gphoto_ccd, Version 1.5, Interface 10
I have pressed the "Default" configuration and dome a save and load
lusb (on RPi) output:
Exact error message
In Ekos INDI Control Panel for the Canon under the Options tab the "Configuration" has a green light to its left. Also, the "Snoop Devices" has a number of devices listed which are not configured (the relevant simulators) and has a green light to it's left.
Any suggestions as to what to investigate of change would be gratefully received (or requests for more info about the config). Not terribly familiar with Linux but reasonably techy (spent career in asm/C/C++ software development but under Windows and OS X(GUI)
Thanks
Ian
