Hi Edoardo,

Thanks for this, very helpful. Can I just check you are using the sestosenso2 Indi driver?

If so, I've just been looking at the driver code and I think I can see what's causing the problem.

Regards,
John.

Hi John,
yeah, I'm using the INDI driver. I've only installed indi-full and gsc, other than the needed dependencies to build kstars.

Just to be sure, here my indi server panel:


Cheers,
Edoardo

Hi Edoardo,

So I think it's a bug in the Sesto Senso 2 driver. I've raised a bug report for the Indi team here...
github.com/indilib/indi/issues/1995

Please feel free to add any comments to this.

I can't be 100% certain about what I've written but hopefully one of the Indi folks can take a look and either fix it, or come back with more information if I've misunderstood something.

So I don't think the issue is really in the Overscan movement, but it's in the polling timer code not being quite right. This explains why when you set the Overscan delay to different values sometimes it works and sometimes not. It just depends on where in the polling cycle you happen to be. If you set a larger polling period for the driver it should work more frequently but you will still get failures until this is fixed.

Let see what the Indi folks think.

Hi John,
I've thought about the timer when doing all the testing; what made me think about a problem in the polling mechanism is the fact that the Move In/Out buttons can be clicked even before the focuser ended it's movement. In this case I expect that those buttons are not clickable while the focuser is moving (but maybe I'm wrong on how it should work).

I've read your issue for the indi team and the only thing I can add is that it happens every time any movement is issued rapidly after another movement is completed.
Also I can confirm that while doing long movements, the number indicating the current position is not updated until the movement is completed.

Thank you for all your work and support!

Cheers,
Edoardo

Hi Edoardo,

Jasem changed the sesto senso 2 driver. So if you rebuild bleeding-edge Indi you will pick up the new driver code and will be able to try it out.

Hi John,
I've already tried yesterday to implement the change you proposed, but it didn't work.
Now, I think I made something wrong with the compilation of the drivers.
I've followed the building guide and did:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi
make -j4
sudo make install
but KStars could not start the indi server correctly, it get stuck when trying to start the indi services

This is the problematic part:
[2024-02-17T09:53:34.816 CET DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - Sesto Senso 2 : "[DEBUG] Connecting to /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_12e4c43b6a6beb11866a242eb44045d7-if00-port0 @ 115200 "

Error: Port failure Error: Input/output error. Check if device is connected to this port. "
It happens for any connected device. If I install indi from apt the devices are detected correctly.

I've tried to install indi through apt and swap only the sestosenso2 driver with the compiled one; I've succeded starting the server and connected to the focuser, but the behaviour was the same.
That's why I think I've made some mistake along the path.

Now I try to pull and compile Jasem change and try again and report back.

On a side note, since I'm not that versed in c++, how do I uninstall the drivers after the sudo make install?

Cheers,
Edoardo
EDIT: Ok, I've installed indi-full from the bleeding-edge.
The server startup correctly and the devices connects correctly, too.
To be sure that the driver installed is the one with the fix, I've built it and replaced the one installed.
To be even more sure I'm using the compiled driver, I've added a log line that prints an unique string so I'm sure the correct one is loaded.
The fix is not working tho:

Looks like Ekos starts the undoing of the overscan before indi reports that the focuser reached the requested position, so it still use the starting position as the starting point for the subrasction of the overscan value.

Yes, looks the same behaviour as we got before the change.

What polling period do you have set (i think 1000ms = 1s is the default)? Could you try setting it to 100ms or 200ms and see what happens.

I have a theory that the current focuser position is not getting updated correctly in the driver so it doesn't get passed to Ekos until after the move completes. So on single moves it works fine, but on a double move its a problem.

The polling were 500ms.
Tried to lower it to 100ms -> same result
Tried to lower it to 10ms -> same result

Here the logs (but lokks exactly the same):

Could be that lines from 3752 up to 3757 in focus.cpp have something to do with the problem? Every time I see the log "Focuser position X", I see 2 of them no matter the time needed for the focuser to move.

Cheers,
Edoardo

Thanks very much for trying this out.

Yeah, looks like the driver is returning the starting position of the move - should be periodically updating as the focuser moves and then the final position when status changes to IPS_OK.

So, for example on a single move what the driver passes to Ekos would be something like this.
"Real Position" "Driver Position" "Status"
2800 2800
5000 2800 IPS_BUSY
7500 2800 IPS_BUSY
10100 2800 IPS_OK
10100 10100 IPS_OK

So it works if its a single move.

If its part of a bigger move, the line in red is a problem because that tells Focus that the focuser has finished its movement and has stopped at 2800, and that then creates the problem.

Would you be able to try with polling set to say 500ms and set AF Overscan Delay > 500ms. This "should" delay the second move enough that the "trailing" position update from the first move is complete before doing the second move.

Hi John,
finally found the time to try what you asked.

I've tried a big movement:

Both wtih 500ms pollling and 600ms of AF Delay

Hi Edoardo,

Thanks very much for doing this - sorry its taking so much of your time!

So looks like that latest combination has "fixed" things which is progress. Obviously introducing a delay isn't great so I've raised another Indi issue for this:
github.com/indilib/indi/issues/1999

Again, feel free to comment on it. And again, hopefully, one of the Indi folks will take a look.

Hi John,
Thanks to you for guiding me through the process.

I like to help the community when I can!

The issue on GH looks good to me. I will try the new changes on the driver once the guys over at indi take over the issue

Cheers,
Edoardo
