Chad,

Oh whatever you might find that is strange or need a patch is welcome!
I see that something is not updating correctly in the following commands:
Degrees pas meridian: :GXE9#, :GXEA# and respective :SXE9,n# and :SXEA,n#
seem to work but where Indi says 20 minutes SmartWebServer says 5 degrees ???? and it is not Indi related I issue the commands via Python Scripts

Also Autoflip On/ Off seem not to update but this is sure in Indi Driver:
Command :GX95# and respective :SX95,n# (n 1 or 0)

For the Overhead and Horizon Limits
Commands :Go# and respective SoDD# and Gh# and respective ShDD#
I found no discrepancy but will continue to check.

Thanks

I am testing with TMC2209 with the driver status turned on do not see all of the statuses that SWS display in INDI.

In SWS i see "OK" "Standstill" something about Load A... Also there is a comma in your display. So maybe there is a typo or formatting error?

OK looks like when tracking is enabled RA shows "OK". If the axis is not moving it shows "Standstill". I saw the "Load A" after/during a goto/slew.

Meridian flip has a bug SWS sending "off" does not register in Indi.

Chad,

there is also a refresh issue in the SmartWebServer.
When I make a change in Indi it is not reflected until I force browser to refresh

yes i think in the SWS only some parts of it are "dynamic" in that it will update. Some you need a hard refresh.

Looks like tracking rates changed in SWS are not being picked up by INDI.

I will stop there as i want to make sure this is useful or not.

But this does not explain why 1 degree in SWS is shown as 4 minutes in Indi.
In OnStep the parameter is divided by 4 (why and whan this changed ???) I will investigate.

I think it may be that 1 degree is for angular distance, and 4 minutes is the measure of time.

So it is the same thing, but different units.
