Hi everyone,

This is my first post.
I read carefully most of the threads on this forum since few months. In fact since I installed a RPi3b+, running Stellarmate as server for my astronomy equipment. I learn a lot and most of the time, I find answers to my questions. thanks to all for that.
I just received a "myFocuser Pro2" from Robert Brown in New Zeeland and I would like to test it, first via Kstars/Indi device manager and then, directly via ekos.
My problem is that I do not find the driver in the list of the focusers, even after having updated Indi... Probably I missed something :(

Thanks for your help,

Pierre-Yves

Hello Pierre-Yves,

Welcome to INDI forum. The focuser is not yet available in the stable release. It should be within a couple of weeks with the next stable release of INDI.

Ok Jasem, thanks for your feedback. I was misled by the indi web page regarding this focuser that suggests that the driver is available.

It is available in the INDI Nightly Builds.

The documentation says it is available INDI Library >= v1.8.2

Current stable INDI version is v1.8.1

I've double checked the code and it looks like everything is as intended. Tested too!

Thanks Alan

About to run some sanity test on the latest MyFP2 indi driver build (version 3) against the v2.91 focuser firmware

Before I run any tests, I took a quick look at the MyFP2 indi driver source code on git

You mentioned that:

" I will then make the base firmware check equal to or greater than 291."

It looks like the minimum firmware version check is as follows:



Is this as intended?

OK lets regroup, my last commit is not what was intended!!!

I did a merge and believed I made the correct changes, then committed and did a pull, at which time I was told I was up to date. So I assumed because my changes were correct at my end, then that is what was committed.

I have just realised this is not the case, and the only change was the version number!!!??? This was discovered whilst setting up an AstroBerry, and pulling the latest nightly, I noticed my changes were not there.

So I have two file on my development end, that need to be committed via a pull request?
I guess the steps are
1. Create a commit (should I do some sort of sync first, and if so what should I do?).
2. Create a Pull Request at the head end, and associate the above commit?

I won't do anything until I get some feedback, as this is how I started getting in this mess, and can't understand why only the version number was committed?

TIA.

So no feedback on what to do so I have just tried another commit and pull request and again a conflict, but I think I have now pushed/pulled the code I intended (version 0.4)

Nice one Alan

I see your (v 0.4) commits from yesterday on your git fork to the following code files:

myfocuserpro2.h
myfocuserpro2.cpp


Just waiting for these to be reflected in the main branch now

Perhaps Jasem can support on that
