Well, I was having this issue with the ASI1600MMC-P as well. The QHY seems a lot more reliable, less disconnects, but it still happens. Any suggestions to get this sorted out would be helpful as I really like this camera with this setup. I am running the latest Ekos, INDI, and Linux drivers for the QHY163M.
When the camera stops responding, I can't connect or disconnect from it. I have to go outside and unplug it from the RP3 to get it connected back in Ekos. After that, it will work again. It seems to be random. It will happen during focusing or just when doing an imaging run. I have updated everything. All other equipment stays working just fine, mount and focuser. After having it happen quite a few times, I feel like the issue is something freezing with the upload. It says it finishes capturing the image, but then just hangs there and no image ever arrives. The iwconfig shows the connection at 65Mb/s, but it takes an 8Mb image about 9 seconds to download. Could it be a connection issue of some sort?
I've attached two Ekos logs from tonight that show two disconnects from the QHY
Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
