Hello,

i have tried to make ASICAP 1.3 and 1.4 work with Linux Ubuntu Mate 18.04.01 32 bit and the software does not work at all.

Installation is ok but when i launch the program, nothing happens.

Quite strange.

Any help ?

Hi, Alain, I'm sorry that We didn't test ASICAP on Ubuntu Mate，only Ubuntu. We are solving this problem, if there is any result, , we will let you know. You can feel free to contact me, E-mail: lei.zhang@zwoptical. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello,

maybe the problem could come from the netbook screen resolution. It's only 1024*768 and maybe it's too small resolution.

I only want to make tests with Linux in order to know what works and what don't.

The main purpose is to use a Raspberry Pi in order to control the camera and maybe an altaz mount to make EAA with a lens (large field realtime observations). The raspberry will be controlled with a distant PC.

ASIAir would have been nice but no control software on PC. That's too bad.

I hope you will provide ASICAP for Raspberry soon.

Hi，Alain

I see your point, but ASICAP can't run on Raspberry for now, because of different CPU Architecture.

We are trying to make ASICAP work on Raspberry. Can you leave your email address? If we make it, we will let you know.

Hello Hurely,

i know ASICAP is not yet ready for Raspberry.

For now, i just want to test ASICAP under Linux UBUNTU Mate 18.04.1 32 bits on my netbookto see how it works and to test some remote control with VNC from an other laptop.

So, it would be nice if i anderstand why ASICAP Linux 32 bits does not start at all (no error message) on my netbook.

Hi, Alain

We tested ASICAP on UBUNTU Mate 18.04.1 32 bits, I have the same problem you said.

The reason is that UBUNTU Mate put libpng12.so.0 in /snap/core/4914/lib/i386-linux-gnu, so ASICAP can't find this lib.

Please try the following two commands in Terminal:

First: sudo cp /snap/core/4914/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0.54.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

Then: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0.54.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0

If don't work, Please contact me. e-mail: lei.zhang@zwoptical.com

Have a nice day.

Hello,

i have made a new test and now, with your help, everything works just fine with my ASI178MC. It's really cool.

Many thx for all !

Hello,

i have found all documentations i need for Raspberry Pi 3 so i will get the rapspy quicker than i thought.

Do you think you will be able to make a Raspy version (for the latest RaspBian OS) soon ?

Have a nice day.

Hi, Alain

Thank you for paying high attention to ASICAP.

As you know, ASICAPV1.4 just released, it may be unstable, so, when ASICAP is stable, we will release Raspy version. And build a Raspy version, That's a lot works to do, so please wait patiently for a while, if build Raspy version successfully, I will send a email to you.

Lei

Hello Lei,

ok, i will wait.

I will tell you when i will be able to test ASICAP for raspy. Maybe you will want to give me a beta version for testing before you will release the first ASICAP raspy version.

Have a nice day.

Alain

Hello, Alain

That's great! We really appreciate that you want to test ASICAP beta raspy version. I will send beta version to you immediately when we build it.

if build Raspy version successfully, I will send a email to you.

If there is a list for working ASICAP working with a Pi can I get on it too?

Hello Lei,

i have received my raspberry pi 3 B+. Everything works just fine with Raspbian Pi OS.

I have started to test Python code with the Pi camera V2 (Ir model). It's quite funny.

Control with RealVNC works great. This raspberry is really amazing.

So, i can test what you want when you will be ready.

Have a nice day.
