Apogee Alta U2 from eBay. MSRP is about $6k, was $800 which was the best I could find for a cooled CCD with USB

maybe just try using lindi directly

= libapogee =

What I used to get my early results. Works, but not reliably (sometimes image shows large splotch bands, almost like integration didn't start/stop correctly)

<code>
wget http:''www.randomfactory.com/downloads/libapogee-3.0.3234.tgz
tar -xf libapogee-3.0.3234.tgz
cd libapogee-3.0.3234
sed -i s/-lboost_regex-mt/-lboost_regex/ apogee/Makefile*
./configure
make -j$(nproc)
</code>

= micromanager =

2018-08-28

Followed instructions in Apogee official pdf

Got it to pickup, heard fan speed change

<code>
C:\Program Files\Micro-Manager-1.4\MMConfig_apogee.cfg
</code>

Got this working pretty quickly. Seems to work more reliably than the Apogee demo app
