Hi Robert,

This weekend I spent some time developing the new driver (base on GotoNova driver as you suggest it). You can find it on my indilib git fork:

github.com/nachoplus/indi

Please, compile and test if possible.

I did the job working with the real hardware. This is the list of things than work right now:

.- Slew and slew end. Slew end without :SE# cmd, it is calculate as: abs(currentRA-targetRA)< 5 arcsec && abs(currentDEC-targetDEC)< 5 arcsec
.- Change the track mode (Sideral, Solar, Lunar ...) It only works if the mount is not stopped and at this moment you need to make a initial slew (only one time)
.- Get/set site (Lat/lon) and Time( UTC, UTCoffset)
.- Guiding ( :Ms#/;Mn# )... and pulse guiding (:Ms xxxx#...). In my mount works..
.- Change guidding speed (0.25x, 0.5x or 1.0x)
.- Abort motion
.- Sync the mount

Thinks than don't work:
.- Start/Stop tracking (you have to star from the HC and then you can change the rate by indi but can not start/stop at present time)
.- Custom tracking rates (:RR/RD xxx ). Is in the GUI but not work.

Is a on going work but any testing are wellcome. I'll continue next weekend...

Regards
Nacho
