Are any of you using Kevin's Waveshare auto focus with a raspberry pi? Would you be willing to share your settings with the driver Kevin wrote?

I was running astroberry/kstars with zwo183, zwo 120, avx mount, and a homebuilt auto focuser controlled with a waveshare hat on a raspberry pi 4 b 128G flash drive....
I crashed it last week trying to add the canon dslr camera drivers. I dont like to bother you guys, but at this point i have reinstalled, reformatted and reimaged several times. got a new sd card (64G) and still cant get back to where i was. In fact, ive got more issues than before.

I am new to linux, and I have no doubt these issues are on me, but i dont really know where my mistakes are.
Thank you in advance,
Dave

There are a few people using it. :)

Some of the main things to set in the INDI control panel are the board revision that you're using (original or 2.1) and the delay per step (200 is a good start).

Here are the settings I'm using.





Also, here are the settings in the autofocus tab in Ekos that I'm using.







I hope this helps!
