@Alain
I'm sorry it took a long time.
I have attached a patch suggestion.
I tested lx200_OnStep, but no other drivers. (I don't have an other mount.)
I think the lx200 series patch is okay.
Other drivers need to be tested to see if they work fine.
Thank you.

So the Utc error in Ekos is gone?

@Norikyu, @Michael,

Utc error in Ekos is not yet gone, Norikyu just proposed a patch and he tested it against OnStep.
To include the change into Indi Master a pull request must be issued.
Before doing this some additional steps need to be doen:
- change revision for each modified driver
- change drivers.xml for each modified driver
- check build and drivers functions
and then issue the pull request

so will take some time.

I propose to do it but if anybody volunteers, he is welcome!

All fixes as per Norikyu pacth are included on github.com/azwing/indi
All test done as simulation except OnStep, pull request will be issued
impacted code:
drivers/telescope/ioptronHC8406.cpp
drivers/telescope/lx200_OnStep.cpp
drivers/telescope/lx200_TeenAstro.cpp
drivers/telescope/lx200pulsar2.cpp
drivers/telescope/lx200telescope.cpp
drivers/telescope/rainbow.cpp
tools/evalINDI.c

Thx Alain for the info!
I'm a total unix noob, lol
I'll just go back to stellarmate1.5.5 which seems to work best for me and wait
for a new stable release.

@Norikyu, @Gene, @Michael,

UTC fix is merged into master!

Thank you Norikyu for your work.

@Michael,

we all are noobs in some matter. We just do our best!
And I am convinced that only noobs can discover some really stupid bugs ans so improve end user experience!

Hello boys i have a problem with driver, i use port 9998 bcause the 9999 not respondig correctly but i have a random error:

Hi all,

Would someone please be kind to guide me through how to instal new indi lib 1.9.6 into stellarmate 1.7.0?
I know nothing about linux or terminal.

It should be available soon (1 or 2 days) via SM App.

Good evening,

Is it possible to implement a possibility to change Alt min and Alt max values in the OnStep driver?

I use an ATM EQ fork mount based on the OnStep and I struggle with the inability to pass through a 10* circle around the Zenith, both in case of GoTo and simple tracking. I know that it's because of reaching an Overhead Limit. Several months ago I informed the OnStep developers about this problem, but I was told to use a WiFi/Ethernet module compatible with the OnStep to change the values in their mobile app. Unfortunately, I don't want to buy and install this module, especially since I use the FYSETC S6 v2.1 board, which doesn't support the most popular solution. I don't want to spend another month researching how to perform it. I repeated my question recently and finally I received a surprising answer that the ASCOM driver allows to change the values. Indeed, I can do it with the ASCOM and the Ekos seems to respect the new values and I can do the GoTo slew through the Alt=80* circle virtually and the tracking doesn't stop when it reaches the circle. I also changed the Alt min in the ASCOM driver to +10*, so I am able to check whether the Ekos receives a "Below Horizon error" and I can say that it works properly.

So please, add the values somewhere in the INDI driver to allow users modify the values, if they want it.

Best regards,
Martha

@ Martha,

Is this not accessible via the Elevation Min/Max in the main pane of the control panel? (the values per default -30 .. +89°)
or do you mean another parameter?
