James, you have some serious hacking skills! That's what I call dedicated!
Maybe for (row = 0; row < HEIGHT; row++) should be for (row = 0; row < HEIGHT - 1; row++) ?

Ok, I've got it working. Amusingly helped by some networked RGB lights called Filimins that a friend started a business building.

Or did last night, I let my computer go to sleep and lost some controls (v4l2 problem not INDI) Like the R/G/B gains.

Here's the branch if you can use it, via some git magic, otherwise I'll make a clean pull request at some point in the next few days. github.com/james-lan/indi/tree/neximage (I'm based off of azwing's so that causes some issues I think.)

Some more notes for anyone else who tries to use this: I got the controls back, apparently, there's a kernel->userspace transfer or something going on with uvc type things.

You'll need the file from the The Imaging Source github above, you need uvcdyntrl installed, then run this:
uvcdynctrl -i data/uvc-extensions/tisEUVC.xml -d /dev/video1

It goes from this:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -l
brightness (int) : min=0 max=255 step=1 default=12 value=12
gain (int) : min=4 max=63 step=1 default=16 value=36
exposure_absolute (int) : min=1 max=300000 step=1 default=127 value=127
focus_absolute (int) : min=0 max=1000 step=1 default=0 value=0
privacy (bool) : default=0 value=0

to this:
v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 -l
brightness (int) : min=0 max=255 step=1 default=12 value=12
gain (int) : min=4 max=63 step=1 default=16 value=36
trigger_global_reset_shutter (bool) : default=0 value=0
exposure_absolute (int) : min=1 max=300000 step=1 default=127 value=127
focus_absolute (int) : min=0 max=1000 step=1 default=0 value=0
privacy (bool) : default=0 value=0
trigger (bool) : default=0 value=0
software_trigger (button) :
gainr (int) : min=0 max=63 step=1 default=1 value=36
gaing (int) : min=0 max=63 step=1 default=1 value=36
gainb (int) : min=0 max=63 step=1 default=1 value=36
binning (int) : min=1 max=4 step=1 default=1 value=1
x_offset (int) : min=0 max=1794 step=2 default=0 value=0
y_offset (int) : min=0 max=1464 step=2 default=0 value=0

Of those:
Brightness does nothing that I can tell.
Binning breaks it.
Trigger of all types is are somewhat untested by me, though they seem related to the snapshot mode.
Focus does nothing.
Exposure Absolute is in 0.1ms intervals. (Up to 300000 = 30 seconds, which seems to work. (Haven't tried it a lot yet, that's based on the white as this thing's background that showed up on streaming about 30 seconds after!))
R/G/B gains do work. There's probably an ideal value... but that either takes a patient approach or is the thing that drives people mad trying to properly figure out.

Testing with an ETX-70, I can see a fair number of stars. Sadly I can see stars, but I start to sink in the mud, and I'm exhausted.

Pull request submitted: github.com/indilib/indi/pull/587

That should add support for the NexImage 5 to INDI as well as likely the NexImage 10 (Based on this: github.com/openastroproject/openastro/issues/252 it appears to use the same format.)

(The more of git I use the more it's both more powerful and really annoying.)

Just to note, I did get another NexImage5, and following my own instructions worked. (Always great when that happens.)

I’m having an issues getting mine going. I mirror my install on a netbook and on RPi. Everything was installed a week or so ago. I’ve had the v4l2 working on both. Rpi ccd works (poorly) and netbooks screen cam streams.
Running Ubuntu mate 19
Installed indi full

Neximage shows up running lsusb as in your example. It does not show up under /dev/video1 (video0 are other cams). Disabled the ccd on rpi off in bios on the netbook and rebooted but no joy.

All kinds of issues trying follow through the TIS instructions. Dependency not installing and files missing errors all over the place.

Oh actually reading the readme actually worked.

Hello,

New user here trying to use indi.

I know this is an old thread but bumping up this because i'm was trying to make a neximage mono to get work with indi.
My platform is Ubuntu 32bit 18.04
I read through the thread and ran following commands

sudo ./firmware-update -ud <SERIAL> -f ../../../data/firmware/usb2/dmfk72uc02_162.euvc (neximage mono) and after that
sudo ./firmware-update -id <SERIAL> shows

and no image is displayed. The camera now does not work with the Windows app (iCap) too. (Windows does recognize the camera)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Bump

It looks like that's not the right firmware, or at least I can't find any reference via google of dmfk72uc02_162.euvc (Their naming scheme has for the 2nd an m (mono) or an f (color) never both)

It looks like you uploaded the wrong firmware, try it with the DMK 42AUE03 namely the dmk42ue03_4001_uvc.euvc as that appears to be the only AR0132 sensor based ones they released (along with a DFK version), though I can't find any support references to that model number outside of repository. Though I did find an old product catalog.

The controls thing should use the uvcdynctrl command either the same? or something similar, as above. Hope that helps.
