Hello,

First off, 1.60 is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the work done with this version.

A problem one has been laid on the Open community's table. SkySafari 6 Pro want to open a serial connection in its web session with INDI. The command is a GET /setserial.

Problem two is reflected in the Scope and mounts supported by SkySafari 6 Pro. The SS6Pro list is not tied to the needs of INDI. For example, an EQ6 mount is not defined in SS6Pro.

SS6Pro does provide a door for missed/forgotten scopes. The door is "Basic Encoder System". Under INDI, every driver does not know how to address a GET /setserial. That is problem one. A BES would be just like the SkySafari driver. The BES driver must accept GET /setserial. Like the SkySafari driver, EQMod can be used to set the scope communication.

So the INDI SkySafari driver should be set to ignore /setserial, is that what you mean?
