Meade DSI original gets "strange error-
blp042 opened this issue · comments
I tried my original (old) Meade DSI and got the error below.
The supported Meade - touptek based cameras can be found there:
https://github.com/artyom-beilis/OpenLiveStacker/blob/main/src/toup_oem.h#L63
From product-id/vendor-id it seems not to be in the list.
Does this camera work with indi/touptek driver?
It does not. Must be another INDI driver because it works on AstroBerry, EKOS, PHD2, StellarMate.
No worries. I'd just like mine to work. I love the possibility it might work on Android phones though.
Great work. I may try to compile it myself and see if I can add support.
If it's the original DSI then it's probably a webcam type camera.
@blp042 What camera type have you tried? Do you get a different error when you choose UVC?
I don't see an error. I think the screenshot didn't load.
Hmm.... doing a bit of reading, it looks like DSI is a Meade specific camera family and neither the UVC nor the ToupTek drivers will work for them.
It's a completely different set of drivers and @artyom-beilis would need to develop new integration for this camera.
I assume this is what Indi is using:

It looks like indi implemented its own driver over libusb directly instead of using their SDK. That means basically converting their code to open-live-stacker driver.
Good: it means no need to wait for Meade to release android SDK
Bad: it quite lots of work and not something that can be done without real camera to test.
Sorry :-)
Closing as not something that can be supported at this point.
You mean examples of stacked images?
Here is a thread I share my images with very simple equipment: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/882728-eaa-with-simple-achromat-way-better-than-you-can-think-of/ (I don't mention OLS due to forum restrictions of not promoting stuff)
Here little bit more info in this development thread on the forum: https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/875680-openlivestacker-getting-ready-for-google-play-discussions/
Yes. Along with the camera used. I would like to try my success with a camera known to work already.
Basically look at list of supported cameras:
- ASI ZWO - most popular cameras used with OLS and most tested in my opinion
- ToupTek - I know of several cameras working
- Android Camera
- SVBony sv105, sv205 are UVC cameras and known to work (but some older weaker tablets may not handle it)
- DSLR/DSLM - as long as they are supported by libgphoto and have trigger capture mode
But of course remember disclaimer the software comes without any kind of warranty :-)
