I tried this, but unfortunately indi does not accept this. I still get:
Malformed assignment: USB
Purpose: set one or more writable INDI properties
1.8.0-tgz
...
(And the same with "\" before space.)

Oh, okay.
That can probably be what I need. My problem now is that:
indi_setprop STXL-6303.DEVICE_PORT_TYPE.USB 2=On
does not work, since there is a whitespace between USB and 2. How do I set a property like this?
Thanks again!

Thanks for your answer, but as far as I understood from the SBig info page (
www.indilib.org/devices/cameras/sbig-ccd.html
, bottom) the indi_sbig_ccd driver supports only one camera per driver:
[cite: "The SBIG driver only support one-camera-per-driver, so if you have more than one SBIG camera, you need to start a dedicated instance to each camera."]
I still tried it, but as I expected, it did not work either.
It shows the same error, so i think, it looks at the same USB port. (In KStars USB1).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi together, I hope, someone can help me with my problem:
(I use: Linux Mint 19.1, Intel x86, PyIndi)
I have two SBig CCDs: a STXL-6303 and a STF-8300. One should be at a spectrograph and the other one is for guiding.
How do I set up the indiserver properly, so that I can speak to both? I tried to use:
mkfifo /tmp/indififo
indiserver -p 7624 -v -f /tmp/indififo &
echo start indi_sbig_ccd -n \"STF-8300\" > /tmp/indififo
echo start indi_sbig_ccd -n \"STXL-6303\" > /tmp/indififo
and then connect to the indiserver using python and pyindi:
spec_indiclient.setServer("localhost", 7624)
gd_indiclient.setServer("localhost", 7624)
dev_spec = spec_indiclient.getDevice("STF-8300")
dev_gd = gd_indiclient.getDevice("STXL-6303")
spec_connect = dev_spec.getSwitch("CONNECTION")
gd_connect = dev_gd.getSwitch("CONNECTION")
But this let me connect only to the first camera. Even when I first try connect to the STXL, the connection is made to the STF.
The output on the console is:
FIFO: start indi_sbig_ccd -n "STF-8300"

new device STXL-6303
and the second time I don't get the connection switch.
With KStars and Ekos I can connect to both, if I select port USB1 for the STF and port USB2 for the STXL.
So, how can I tell the indiclient/server, that it shall connect to the USB2 device?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
