I run ekos with the following and device settings:
as you may see, ekos does not start indi server by itself. I start indiserver before, and let ekos to connect to.
Well, I've realized that if I don't select any ccd camera like this:
it still works. The camera also appears in the indi control panel (that's normal, since the driver is loaded) and I can use the device within ekos, cause the camera tab still appears. So, why do I have to select the devices I'm going to use? Maybe this only makes sense if ekos also start the indi drivers...
