I have a Moonlite CHL 2.5 focuser which I have connected to an External Motor Controller which is connected to a Pegasus Powerbox Advanced.
The powerbox is then connected to a Raspberry Pi device running Stellarmate OS
I am unable to connect to the moonlite focuser and keep getting the error that the port is already used by another driver..

The PPBA also shows a focuser but the moonlite focuser doesnt move by using that either.

Please edit the profile again and check "Port Selector". Save then restart the profile, you should get port selector popping up again.

1. For Pegasus, select the port containing Pegasus_Astro..etc.
2. For MoonLite, select the port containing "Profolic Technology"

Click connect all and it should be good to go.

PS. The PPBA focuser is for something else, it's for connect your own focuser via an adapter that Pegasus provides. Your setup should work fine if you follow the steps above.

Thanks for the quick response!
I finally got a chance to try however its not working. Two issues:

1. My EQ Mod mount is wanting to take one of the ports either the Prolific or the PPBA.
2. Moonlite says its not powered on or port is incorrect still after selecting the Prolific port

Is there a Pegasus XMC driver for Indi that I could select as my focuser? I was able to connect successfully in NINA when i select the focuser as the XMC instead of Moonlite
