Bug ID: 445064
Summary: In camera and filters screen I have chosen Enforce
Temperature before Capture, yet frames are captured
and no alarm or alert is issued.
Product: kstars
Version: 3.5.5
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: astroga...@westnet.com.au
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
KStars 3.5.5 Stable is no longer reliable. Benchmark settings cannot be
trusted. There is a disconnect between what you ask and what you get.
For example, My QSI ambient air temperature and preset cooling temperature
differences cannot exceed 47deg C so -20deg is a good setting for nightime
capture, but during the daytime -20deg setting on a 30deg day will bring up
100% Cooling, therefore the temperature rises above the critical setting of
-20deg C
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. To eliminate operating system fault I am using Stellar Mate SD Cards on 2
RPi's. As a server and as a controller.
2. Select "Enforce Temperature before Capture"
3. Select an unreachable temperature, say -30deg C,
OBSERVED RESULT
as the cooling demand passes 100% and just take lots of frames...
Please note
1) that the Temperature tick is still green and the camera ignores the enforce
command.
2) No alerts or alarms are issued
EXPECTED RESULT
I Expect Ekos to use my input settings,
Control and modify the outputs
Raise alarms and alerts when it cannot comply
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Stellar Mate SD cards in 2 Raspberry Pi's
Also on my macOS:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is one of a number of issues where input settings are lost or ignored
rather than being saved, so this is a formal "Stake in the sand" for me to
document how KStars ver 3.5.5 has become unreliable.
Others are Pegasus Focuser settings, QSICamera sensor settings, QSI Camera
rotation settings, Guide camera settings...
Until ver 3.5.5 stable I had fun doing astronomy, but it has become unworkable
as a simple guiding crash will make an SD Card unusable.
Thanks for what you do.. just having a bad day here. (No captures all last
night)
