Hello,
i bought virtualhere in hope to be able to connect all my gear (telescope mount, guide cam, astro cam) using my raspberry Pi3 via wireless connection to my pc.
It seems that i'm missing something as it is not working.
This is the log of me trying to use the guide cam for image acquisition: (Altair Astro GPCAM2 IMX224)

The outcome is dropped frames (100% of them, actually). This is an usb2 device.
I read that there are a change to possibly deal with quirks, is that the case? How can i debug and make it work?
I didn't even tried with my main camera (Qhy 183c) with is a 20mpixels usb3 device...
Thanks a lot

Small addendum:
I tried the linux server in my main pc and it works (i have some major flickering and general artifacts like horizontal bars), so i suspect is something in the rpi3. Any knowledge there? :)
Thanks

Yes the reason is the pi3 is
Yes the reason is the pi3 is way too underpowered for what you need. The reason is the cpu in the pi3 is not as powerful as the main pc and all data shares a single USB port and the aerial in the pi3 is too feable to provide good reception. so the ping times are too high for a decent video framerate. I think if possible it might be more viable to use a laptop to remotely control the usb instead of using a pi3. However wifi may still be an issue so a LAN connection would be much more suitable.
