ZWO ASI678MC

[algol50]

Hello,

I have been using allsky with my ZWO ASI178MC camera successfully for over a year now.

Today I tried with my new ZWO ASI678MC which is supposed to be less noisy. It always says "no camera found".

Is there a new SDK or whatever needs to be recompiled to allsky? Or can I do something?

Thanks in advance,
Laura

@algol50 You need a new ZWO library that include that camera and some other new ones. I'll make sure that library is in the next release,. Until then, you can use the attached files. Remove the .txt from the file names.
ASICamera2.h goes in allsky/src/include
The 6,7,8.zip files go in allsky/src/lib. You'll see armv6, armv7, and armv8 directories, each with one file.
When done copying the files, do the following:

sudo systemctl stop allsky
cd ~/allsky/src
make capture
cp capture ..
sudo systemctl start allsky

This should create a new "capture" program with the new SDK that knows about your camera.

Let me know how this goes, and how you like your new camera!

Just came across this after spending all day debugging the SDK, Sigh........
I created a new issue with the details here - #2044 (please close it if it doesn't belong there)

The method @EricClaeys mentioned partially worked - I had to make a clean install as only running "make" did not do the trick, not sure why.

@akermania After running make, the capture program is in allsky/src, but Allsky looks for it in ~/allsky, so you need to copy it there, or run sudo make install. I always just cp capture .. since it's quicker.

Thanks for your quick reply,  that is great!I'll try but it may take some time before I can test under real sky because it will be cloudy the next days.  -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --------Von: EricClaeys ***@***.***> Datum: 17.08.22 05:44 (GMT+01:00) An: thomasjacquin/allsky ***@***.***> Cc: algol50 ***@***.***>, Mention ***@***.***> Betreff: Re: [thomasjacquin/allsky] ZWO ASI678MC (Discussion #1567) @algol50 You need a new ZWO library that include that camera and some other new ones.
