Firstly I would like to thank everyone involved in this forum! This is the first time I have had to post as I have always found a solution by searching around the forum. I recently purchased a Pegasus FocusCube and was sold due to it having advertised INDI compatibility. Unfortunately I have been having a heck of a time getting it to connect in Ekos. I did get it to connect briefly (Logs are attached) but it timed out almost instantly and I have not been able to repeat or replicate it since. My setup is using a Raspberry Pi 3b+ at the scope and connecting to it remotely on the same network with my Macbook. I am running 2 ZWO cameras and EQMOD on a Orion Sirius HEQ5 mount. When I try to connect to the FocusCube it then also ends up timing out the EQmod mount. i am hoping that this is something simple as I am really excited about the focusing capabilities. I am fully updated and upgraded with the nightly builds. I did test the FocusCube with a Windows 10 computer with Pegasus app and it works with no issues.

Can you connect to it without anything else attached? EQMod..etc? Does it work with Nightly build this way?

Is this issue perhaps related to my one at
indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/3834-asi-12...ther-with-eqmod.html

Unlikely. What happening when you have more than serial device and the port was not set correctly under "Connections". I starts auto-search but this can conflict with other drivers who are trying to connect to the same port. Let's approach this one-step at a time. Try first without anything else connect and then we'll go from there.

I updated and upgraded, rebooted and I have connected it directly in each of the usb ports and it is has given me the same error on each attempt. With only the Focuscube attached.

Did you use the Nightly PPA?

Yes I sure did.

Hi,
I tried with the nightly build and it works like a charm. Driver supports both DMFC and FocusCube (tested)
Can you check if you have the correct version?

I just grabbed today's Nightly and the FocusCube finally connected! It took a minute to connect and now it is working as advertised! Thank you for your help, I really appreciate all that you have done to make such a great program.

Thanks to everyone whose has worked on this software.

I have not been able to get my Pegasus FocusCube working either. It will not connect. Looks like the wrong driver for a Macbook running High Sierra 10.13 and Ekos 2.9.8 with Indigo Server 3.5. As the name suggests, the Pegasus DualMotorFocusController driver looks like it is designed for the seperate controller and motor, not the FocusCube.
Any help would be great. Thanks

The Pegasus DMC is the driver you want for the focus cube, it’s the same thing, just made all in one small unit...

I have that driver selected. FocusCube is powered on, with green light and connected via ASI294 camera usb hub. Also tried straight from focuscube to laptop with no luck. The hand controller moves the focus no problem. Their is no communication with the laptop. I do not have a windows or raspberry device to check. Below is an error log:
