Guider Timing Out and Camera Failing (2 issues in the same log)
Issue #1035
closed
I am getting two errors. The Guider with PHD2 times out after waiting to settle, however the guider is actually guiding, it seems like some comms error between the two programs?
The other error is an ASI Camera Download error. The camera was working great for 12 hours straight, 6pm-6am and then it looks like it started triggering these errors. Nothing changed during the imaging session before and after the error, so I am really confused where it is coming from.

The timeout is sent by PhD2 when your settle parameters are too tight and the settle time is exceeded. No communication error.

As for the ZWO error, this is an arbitrary error that is thrown by the ZWO SDK without any further details. Most common cause is some communication issue due to a cable problem. Maybe it got a bit loose temporarily.
