Cooling of CCD via pyindi - by: spektroskopie

Hello Together,

it is my first post here and I have a few questions about the usage of pyindi.

My setup is a Raspberry Pi 3 B with Ubuntu Mate,
I followed the tutorial on indilib.org/develop/indi-python-bindings.html

To obtain a proper installation I had to install libz3-dev, libcfitsio-dev and libnova-dev.
A symbolic link from /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libz.so.1 to /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libz.so was needed
otherwise I had the error message ld can not find lz

The following code is working with a "Atik 383L+ CCD" and with a "ZWO CCD ASI120MC"
and is close to the example: indilib.org/develop/tutorials/151-time-l...ith-indi-python.html :



So now I have a program, which takes an exposure of specified length and generate a file at the Desktop, but how do I control the cooling of the camera via python.
Do I just need to set the CCD_TEMPERATURE and the camera is taking care of the control loop, or do I have to monitor the CCD_TEMPERATURE and then switch the CCD_COOLER on and off? Is there some example code for this, especially with some syntax example?
