Titan and GP Cameras / Atik GP Crashes Indi Server on Stellarmate 1.5.5

« Last post by dazza1639 on January 07, 2021, 10:29:33 am »

Since updating my Stellarmate OS to version 1.5.5 every time the Atik GP camera is accessed via Ekos it causes the indi server to crash. I have sent a support request to Stellarmate. They have said that this is a known issue and it has been reported to Atik, but they have not received a response. I must say that the Atik GP has been a poor camera with lots of bugs and poor support from Atik. Is there any chance you could please address this issue. It didn't happen with Stellarmate version 1.5.4

Regards

Hi Vince

How can you tell?

The PI image simply labelled "AtikAir.img"

I downloaded the latest image as part of the Atik Air fix (see attachment)

Thanks

Hi Craig,

Most of us are working from home for the time being, hopefully later this year the worst will be behind us!
We seem to have stormy weather too at the moment so not a lot of imaging going on sadly!

Hey Vince!
It's looking a bit more promising over here to start the year although we're watching with concern over your latest lockdown. We either watch or listen to BBC America just about everyday for updates. Take good care of yourself...maybe hunker down out of harm's way in the observatory more often?

Hello Chris,

I'm sorry to say that ASCOM support hasn't been added to Dusk.

Best regards

Hello Chris,

Sorry to see you're having problems with Atik Base, the Rpi should boot straight into Stellarmate still. Was it version 1.5.3 that you downloaded from the Atik website?

Best regards

Hi

I am also hoping that the issue with non-Atik guide scopes has been addressed now?

Thanks

Atik Air / ATIK BASE - upgrade

« Last post by ccoomber on December 29, 2020, 12:50:12 pm »

Hi

As part of the AtikAir V2020.09.21.13 update, I noticed that there was a new image for the ATIK Base.

I have duly downloaded and flashed it to a micro SD card, and got a very basic looking command line interface (see attached).

Question 1: Was this the intended outcome? i.e. no more stellarmate GUI, kstars etc

Question 2: What is the preferred userid and password (need to configure wifi)?

Note I can now find the ATIK Base reliably via ethernet connection, and the ATIK air interface, still working linking the base unit to Infinity and/or Dusk

Thanks

Hi

Can I confirm that ATIK Air upgrade AtikAir (V2020.09.21.13) seems to work, but still having problems with my ATIK Base unit. I will raise a separate chain on those issues

Thanks

Chris
