Ok, that explains why encoder positions are lost when you restart the indiserver. Is'nt there a jumper on your board to disable this behavior ? If I understand it is used for firmware loading purpose. Otherwise you would have to park/unpark on every connection, not only when you power off your mount.

I'll come up with a script to do that, I have an idea. Will post the script once finished.
It would be nice to have an option called something like "read encoder position".

There is no switch for that, the firmware upgrade is one via a software.
If I can't come up with a suitable script, I will have to make sure that the mount is parked after each use and hope for the best that the Odroid doesn't reboot half through a session....

I've found the following post:
www.indilib.org/forum/general/522-parkda...or-indi-sx.html#2569




Is there a way to pass such values to the Eqmod on start, as in reading a file if possible, similar to ParkData.xml ? Or set it by command line with indi_setprop?
Or maybe, after each completed slew, the RA/DEC is written to a file which can be read on restart of the Eqmod, that would a cool feature to have.
You could choose to reload the previous location on restart if needed (in my case, after a power cut).


EDIT:
edited to avoid confusion, this is an example to show the lines "Setting default Init steps"

I've been testing a few new firmwares for the AstroEQ but it still doesn't work.

Could someone guide me on how to re-inject the "default Init steps -- RAInit=8388608 DEInit = 8388608" back into Eqmod (Ekos) please?
8388608 is an example, I believe they are the default values.

Thank you so much, I will try it this evening.

In the worse case scenario, if that doesn't work or become too much of a pain the back side.... I might get myself a HEQ5 syntrek mount with a "HitecAstro EQDIR adapter for EQMOD" to replace my EQ3-2 / AstroEQ setup.
