Hi

I am using kstars 3.6.2 and INDI 1.9.9 library on Mint, Kernel: 5.4.0-135-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.4.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.8.6 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal.

I'm trying to configure an Excalibur RBFocus flat panel included in the INDI 1.9.9 library revision but I can't find it when configuring it in kstars-INDI-EKOS or in the auxiliary elements, nor do I see it by name.
is it possible to configure it?
please help

Alex

Right it is indeed missing from INDI drivers.xml, I just added it to GIT. For now, you can edit /usr/share/indi/drivers.xml and add it manually then restart KStars:

Add it under <devGroup group="Auxiliary">
<device label="RBF Excalibur" manufacturer="RB Focus">
            <driver name="RBF Excalibur">indi_Excalibur</driver>
            <version>1.0</version>
</device>

Thank you for answering quickly Jasem
It works perfectly.

Now I want to make it work on Astroberry server 2.0.4 (which has version 1.9.7 and Kstars 3.6.0, running on raspberry 4 and/or Raspberry 400
I have compiled the indilib 1.9.9 library, it lets me select the driver but it does not work, it gives me a port error, it seems that it does not correctly detect Excalibur either by USB or Bluetooth.
Although apparently it does recognize the port with lsusb.
Would I also have to compile Kstars to version 3.6.2?

Grateful
