Somebody set up a similar arrangement to the Astroberry using a If I can't get it to control my cameras I'll have to switch back to a Windows setup. If I could control everything from the Pi, I would only have one cable leading into the rig, the power cable.įor the time being I'll continue to shoot this way with the Astroberry, because that's all I can do. I put the Pi right on the rig to avoid having excess cables, as you can see below, but I need to run the extra cable for the intervalometer. I have to use an external intervalometer to control the shutter while PHD2 tracks.

I can only plate solve through the guide cam, but parallax means I still have to guess where my target is in my main camera, and when you're manually aiming with a single axis tracker at a small target, especially with a high mag scope, that consumes time. The only way I can use Astroberry right now is to use PHD2 to guide. I believe Entangle is merely a shell that accesses GPHOTO2, not sure if it has it embedded or not. Same with Entangle, I installed that as well at someone's recommendation using the add/remove software panel. After I did that, the commands listed in that video worked in the terminal. I had to install it using the add/remove software panel. In the terminal, I got an some error message that essentially alluded that there was no GPHOTO2. There was no GPHOTO2 at all in the Astroberry ISO. Windows and Macs have terminals too, but no one needs to use them to get anything done. I just want to set up, and shoot astrophotography, not SUDO and GREP. I don't want to go and get a computer science degree to try and figure out why I can't get my cameras to work in Ekos. It may be the backbone of the internet, but the internet is run by people with computer science degrees. The insistence on using the terminal to get anything done is the reason Linux has gone nowhere in 30 years. However I have to say if you didn't have to use the damned terminal at gunpoint to get anything done in Linux, it would probably far more acceptance and support. From a Windows command prompt in the directory that contains gphoto2.I'm not dissing the volunteers, I just frustrated Ekos can't see my cameras and GPHOTO2 can. You also need to tell gphoto2 where its camera and port libraries are.

You can roll back the drivers for you camera if you no longer want to use it with gphoto2 by using the Device Manager on Windows (see Control Panel -> System).

bin/inf-wizard.exe, select your camera and when you're finished click the 'Install' button. Download the latest binary version of libusb-win32 from here, unzip it somewhere, and run.

This is built using libusb-win32 so you'll need to install a special driver for each USB camera you want to use with it (and remove the driver if you want to use it with other software). Please download the latest version from my Google Code page:

UPDATE : I put in a patch to fix an issue with the usb drivers that prevented multiple cameras from working on Windows. I haven't seen a Windows build of gphoto2 around on the net and, having just built myself a copy in cygwin, I thought some people on here interested in tethered shooting might like a copy (I know it gets mentioned regularly on this board and that a few builds are using it on Linux).
