Hello,
i'm going to share my experience with QHY 183c ( www.qhyccd.com/QHY183.html ) using indi_qhy_ccd with my RPi3 astrobox.
Qhy is experimenting with a common firmware layer that should allow us to use their cameras out of the box. Firmware is available in a indilib's repository subfolder ( github.com/indilib/indi/tree/master/3rdparty/libqhy/firmware ) which mimics libqhy sdk.
Once you attach your camera, kernel recognizes it as:
You can then upload firmare image (QHY183.IMG) using this command:
Where 001 and 006 can be extracted from the previous paste (mar 24 15:54:51 astropi kernel: usb 1-1.3: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg) and confirmed by an "lsusb" command looking for your idVendor and idProduct:
After loading the firmware (less than 1 second), the devices resets and reconnect as another device:
Please not that it changed the idProduct (was c183, is c184 now).
The device is usable using indi_qhy_ccd as now (indi-qhy 1.6+r3007~201703232003~ubuntu16.04.1).
In my experience, it is not working as expected (unable to stream, wrong colors and so on), I expect that it will be developed a bit more![:)]( ":)")
Hope to help someone.
Bye
