Hi, trying to set up the EKOS built in guider.
I have a Skyris 445 which is eqivalent to ImagingSource.
I have tried the v4l2 and DMK drivers.
The issue is that I cant perform multiple exposures. I can take a 1s exposure but I can't take another after.
Here's the error below:
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[WARNING] Failed switching to manual exposure, control is unavailable "
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[INFO] Started 1.000-second manual exposure. "
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[WARNING] Failed switching to manual exposure, control is unavailable "
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[INFO] Started 1.000-second manual exposure. "
org.kde.kstars.ekos.guide: "Exposure timeout. Restarting exposure..."
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[WARNING] Failed switching to manual exposure, control is unavailable "
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[INFO] Started 1.000-second manual exposure. "
org.kde.kstars.indi: V4L2 CCD : "[INFO] Capture of one frame (0 stacked frames) took 2.238256 seconds. "
org.kde.kstars.fits: Reading FITS file buffer
Thanks for any help.

I have had some luck editing guide.cpp and setting the exposure timeout to 2s. 30s was excessive imo.
I can now take multiple exposures which should let me guide the next clear night.
I still get many exposure timeouts so will keep looking into this.
