Astroberry Nikon D5000 Shutter release problems

[simondodd]

Hey everyone,

I'm having a bit of a problem getting my astroberry setup. I can connect to the mount and guide camera and I can connect to the main part of my nikon but for some reason I can't get it to see the shutter release thingy. It's the shoestring USB-Serial thing. I managed to get it to work once but ever since then it has failed...

I've tried not auto connecting and then setting the port to /dev/ttyusb1 DSUSB and a few other ones but with no luck so far. It keeps coming back with an error saying it can't see it. Then when I disconnect and try to reconnect it says the INDI server has crashed so I have to stop and releaunch it to try again...

Any ideas on what I can try next before I take the drastic measure of reflashing the SD card and starting again with it all...?

Thanks in advance

clear skies!

Is the camera on the supported list for GPhoto, if not then your out of luck....  GPhoto by the way, is the linking software between Indi & the camera.

Yep, it's supported. I got it to work once... Literally took one picture and since then it hasn't worked for some reason... The problem is I can't remember the settings I used to get it to work that first time! haha

The error I'm getting is

[ERROR] Failed to open serial port: /dev/ttyusb1

I've checked and that is definitely the correct tty device. It's just not working

OK so I've hit the dreaded capitalisation issue again! It's CASE SENSITIVE! haha, so it's /dev/ttyUSB1 I'm now getting a different error, it's just saying failed to capture rather than failed to open serial port...
