So, basically, what you are telling me is that you can't run KSars/Ekos and directly control the equipment without some intermediary running on Linux or converting the computer over to a Linux system?

I have been using KStars/Ekos with a StellarMate for awhile All works perfectly.

I want to get away from the 2.0 USB bottleneck of the StellarMate and run everything through an Intel NUC.


I've done the following but I am missing something:


1. Downloaded INDI server to the computer. It runs fine and locates all the equipment drives. I start the INDI server.

2. I setup KStar/Ekos to run on single system w/ equipment attached to computer (not remote)

3. I run KStars/Ekos and hit the STAR INDI button and it finds the INDI server just fine.

4. It now looks for the Equipment (I have it entered in Ekos Profile), however Ekos can't find any of the equipment. It says: Unable to establish remote devices: (with list)

I do notice that under PROFILE the Local button is Greyed out and the REMOTE button is selected (can't unselect).

I am sure there is a simple solution to this but it eludes me. Any suggestions to get it working?

Thanks in advance for any help

I contacted Ioptron support. They said they would ask the developers if they would provide the Control Set.

I guess I'll have to wait and see if they will get around to doing it.

Hello-

A real newbie here. I have an iEQ45 Pro mount using a iOptron Electronic Focuser on a 8" RC scope.

I recently acquired a StellarMate and after going over all the documentation I managed to get both my ASI Guide & Imaging cameras to work. The mount also seems to work perfectly.

The only thing I can't get to work is the electronic focuser through the Ekos program. It is not listed in the pulldown menu. Are there INDI drivers for it yet? Or is there another alternative?

Thanks

Doug
