Hi
This is my second try to get attending from the forum. Yesterday my writing was puffed away. (?)
The SX-Driver has some big issues with the SX-Maxi-Filterwheel: I can't get a reliable connection via USB. After connecting th SX-Driver keeps telling me, that the connection isn't writeable. After a dozen trials (disconnecting an reconnecting physically) sometimes the connection can write to the wheel suddenly. I have no clue when and why this happens.
I tried to analyze the USB-Connection and found out, that there are several quirks in the list of properties as you can see in the attachement (a log file with the results of "lsusb -v -s001:00x", before, during an after the failure). After hours of trying I found out, that I have to wait about 10 sec after the physical connection of the USB-plug. After this time starting INDI and connecting with the userinterface of "sx-indi" I manage to get a connection that is writeable!
Even stranger is the following: If I want to check the working connection in a terminal via "lsusb - v- -s001:00x" the connection failes immediately again and the writing commands aren't accepted anymore! Moreover "udevamd" reports the problem too. It seems the bug is right in the connection itself!
I'm willing to track the problem down, but I don't know where to start. Is it an issue of the SX-driver or of the library itself? I'm very grateful if someone can show me the direction.
