Dear all,
I bought stellarmate OS and with my RPI4 I try to use the systems, but with a lot of problems, and the system was very slow. Then, I tried to use astroberry server 2.0.0 and works a lot better tahn stellarmate. I spend a lot of time to configure all, some times didn't work some Pegasus PPB driver, some times another driver, some time when I reboot the system, astroberry don't find some equipment... 3 or 4 weeks later finally with the last updates all the equipment's worked fine. Pegasus Driver, Sony Camera, EAF focusser, guide camera, etc. Today I planned to go ouside for the first session, before I need to change the wifi access to HOTSpot, because outside I dont have internet connection and I don't have a router for this. And this was the last problem, I try t disconnect the wifi router in my home, them reboot astroberry, then I can see the astroberry hot spot in my wifi connections, tried to connect to the hot spot, write the password (astroberry) and my laptop say "I can't connect to this network"). (I remember that in the fist version from astroberry server 2.0.0 the HOTSpot wors well). I tested all the posibilities, for example to be sure about the password, and it is impossible.
My decision now is that I need to buy a MINI PC, and install Windows 10 Pro and use comercial software. Reallly I'm very tired about to use Linux software and hardware, It is never possible to know if all the things will work or not. And I can't spend more time for all the systems works well and with reliably. The only problem for me is taht I use a Sony A7RIII, there are not ascom windows driver for this cam, and probably I need to buy another cam. INDI drivers have driver for this cam and works very well...
Thanks for the hard work to the people that develop this OS, if all works well it's a good system, with a lot of posibilities, but the problem finally is the same, Linux and free software in front of Windows.
Regards,
