Error ZWO ASI385MC

Open WirthmU opened this issue 6 months ago • 13 comments

I have installed a fresh version of Allksy on an RPi 4 Model B Rev 1.1 (RPi 4 Model B Rev 1.1) running bullseye. Installation went smooth and ZWO ASI camera was detected up and running. Now after a certain time allksy stops working with red message on the screen (Allsky is not running).

This is what the logfile says:

After a re-boot it works for sometime and then again:

Since there have been similair issues before like this I have set Auto USB Bandwidth to No and USB Bandwidth to 80%.

I did now install uhubctl on the device, how would I activate it in Allsky?
