qhy-rs

Lightspeed compliant Rust drivers for QHY astronomical equipment

Prerequisites

This crate wraps the QHY CCD SDK, a proprietary prebuilt library.

If you cloned this repository, no installation is needed — the build script falls back to the vendored SDK copy included under vendored/.

If you are pulling this crate from crates.io, you must install the SDK first. The build script looks for it in the following order:

1. Via pkg-config
2. Via the QHYCCD_LIB_DIR environment variable pointing to the directory containing libqhyccd.so

Arch Linux

Install indi-3rdparty-libs from the AUR:

paru -S indi-3rdparty-libs

Ubuntu / Debian

Install via the INDI third-party PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt install libqhy

Other

Download the SDK from the QHY website and follow their installation instructions, or set QHYCCD_LIB_DIR to the directory containing libqhyccd.so:

QHYCCD_LIB_DIR=/path/to/sdk/lib cargo build
