Hi Alain,

I see that the INDI repositories are updated, so I'll make a backup of my microSD card and will try to perform update | upgrade.

BTW, I just finished a video about building my fork mount, so if you have a spare 18 mins you can watch it. :)



Best regars,
Martha

Thanks :)

I was sick as well, but it wasnt Covid, as many people around experienced. Dry cough, I felt a pain even in stomach. Now is better, bu the cough stil exists.

We had several freezing days, I turned the setup on at -4*C. Thankfully most of the time I was at home. The sky was like never! :D An now we have clouds and rain again. I wanted to wait and grab maybe M45 or M31, but I think the whether won't change soon.

So, keep warm, drink a lot (of water ;) ) and don't be tempted to go outside at night! :)

I have an issue with focuser, and I am not sure what is wrong. Every other mount command works properly, but focuser fails to move.
I get:
2022-12-21T10:15:27: [ERROR] CHECK CONNECTION: Error sending command :FS025446#

But when I manually enter that command to SerailMonitor in Arduino, it moves fine.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I could not reproduce this.
I see you use previous version but there has been no change on focuser between the two versions.
I have exactly those commands without issues
Note that Second focuser has never been tested so far I know and for sure doesn't work within Ekos

I do not have anything turned on except Axis1, 2 and 4 as foxuser (3 is rotator)


So it seems it is something with my Standard Operating Procedure. When I restart everything, focuser works but in my process, update datetime update location, goto plate solve, sync with mount(probable culprit) and then focus. I need to do. action per action and focus i between each action to find where exactly issue occurs.

Hi, I can't read the properties of the LX200_OnStep driver outputs. I run the indi_getprop command, but I don't see any properties related to the outputs. I would like to use it to write simple scripts to be started at the beginning of the sessions to switch relays on or off and control part of the instrumentation which I now manage manually with the outputs. For example the switching on or off of the TDM (Telescope Drive Master) every time a fast movement of the mantle is performed or when a meridian flip is performed. Basically the question is: is it possible to control the outputs listed in the last tab of the LX200_OnStep driver with a script? If yes, can you show me some examples?

WiFi concerns:

I cannot reproduce loss of connection nor crash.
my configuration is:
================= OS version

NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
================= indiserver 
2023-02-07T20:48:23: startup: indiserver -v
Usage: indiserver [options] driver [driver ...]
Purpose: server for local and remote INDI drivers
INDI Library: 2.0.1
Code v1.9.6-411-gb4f3497ce. Protocol 1.7.
================= kstars version
kstars 3.6.4 Beta 
========= tests done with ======== OnStep 4.24s and OnStepX 10.11i

may be you could use Khalid's wonderfull Python tool to test communication github.com/kbahey/onstep-python

Also could you please define which versions you use
OS version
cat /etc/os-release
Indi version
indiserver -v &>> infos
kstars version
kstars -v >>
it would help

another option would be to test is with indi_lx200_TeenAstro driver the problem is the same
