U2 power supply: MEAN WELL GS60A12-P1J (12V @ 5A)

mcmaster notes

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

Some commands I ran mcmaster@phantom:~/doc/sw/libapogee/libapogee-3.0.3234$ ./configure --enable-python-wrapper


  1. sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev libboost-regex1.58.0 libboost-regex-dev libboost-regex1.58-dev python-dev swig cdbs libcfitsio-dev libnova-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libjpeg-dev libusb-dev libtiff5-dev libftdi-dev fxload libkrb5-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libraw-dev libgphoto2-dev libgsl0-dev dkms libboost-regex-dev libgps-dev libdc1394-22-dev
  2. hmm conflicts

sudo apt-get install -y libboost-regex1.58.0 libboost-regex-dev libboost-regex1.58-dev python-dev swig cdbs libcfitsio-dev libnova-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libjpeg-dev libusb-dev libtiff5-dev libftdi-dev fxload libkrb5-dev libraw-dev libgphoto2-dev libgsl0-dev dkms libboost-regex-dev libgps-dev libdc1394-22-dev sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev

sudo apt-get install -y indi-apogee indi-sbig kstars kstars-data kstars-data-extra-tycho2 libapogee-dev libapogee2

  • Did some tests a while back on main laptop
  • Setting up to run on uvforge laptop

sudo apt-get install -y libboost-regex1.58.0 libboost-regex-dev libboost-regex1.58-dev python-dev swig cdbs libcfitsio-dev libnova-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libjpeg-dev libusb-dev libtiff5-dev libftdi-dev fxload libkrb5-dev libraw-dev libgphoto2-dev libgsl0-dev dkms libboost-regex-dev libgps-dev libdc1394-22-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev cmake git clone [4] pushd indi/3rdparty/libapogee mkdir build cd build cmake .. make -j$(nproc) popd tar -xf libapogee-3.0.3234.tar cd libapogee-3.0.3234/examples LD_LIBRARY_PATHA=/home/mcmaster/doc/ext/indi/3rdparty/libapogee ./SimpleExposure && python decode.py


maybe just try using lindi directly sudo apt-get install libnova-dev libcfitsio-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev zlib1g-dev libgsl-dev build-essential cmake git libjpeg-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev sudo apt-get install libftdi-dev libgps-dev libraw-dev libgphoto2-dev libboost-dev libboost-regex-dev librtlsdr-dev libftdi1-dev libfftw3-dev

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)

wget [5] 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)

Followed instructions in Apogee official pdf

Got it to pickup, heard fan speed change

C_\Program Files\Micro-Manager-1.4\MMConfig_apogee.cfg

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