Bug ID: 468754
Summary: Touptek camera driver resets after every exposure
Classification: Applications
Product: kstars
Version: 3.6.4
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: aje.ba...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Touptek camera driver (possibly others, but the Touptek is the only one I can
check) gets reset after every exposure. This is making it impossible to capture
a sequence of bias frames as after every frame during the reset the fan and
cooler switch off and the temperature rises before they switch back on again. I
don't want to incur any risk from unnecessary thermal cycling from taking
hundreds of bias frames, and in any case it would drag out the process
excessively if I were to wait for the temperature to stabilise again after each
one.
If I use the INDI control panel and trigger an exposure manually, the camera
does not reset, so I suspect the issue is within ekos.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a job of multiple exposures using the Toupcam driver.
2. Start the job.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The camera fan and cooler stop and restart before each exposure.
EXPECTED RESULT
The camera should remain in a state of constant cooling throughout, with no
resets occurring.
