I have installed the stellarmate on raspberry one week ago and I tested the ekos and kstar tools. I have a focuser developed with the Arduino and Motorshield board to control the stepper in the ASCOM environment. Now I would like to move this in the INDI. I have read some indi drivers are available, but I am not understand where I can retrieve the correspondent Arduino code for the specific indi driver (for example moonlite, etc.. ). Can you help and suggest me a solution, please?

what project did you use for this? where is the code for the arduino?

I use a private code of my friend who developed also the ASCOM driver without following specific standard. For this reason I would like to get the Arduino code that is able to comunicate with available indi drivers.

There are numerous ones on Github and else where that support Moonlite protocol and should (and do) work with Indi Moonlite Focuser driver.

Example github.com/marcocipriani01/Arduino-MoonL...ino-MoonLite-focuser - note I haven't used this one personally just showing an example.



Not knowing your friends code but I would suggest trying it with Indi as is just in case it works without modification - p.s. if it works with Monnlite own stand alone Windows App it should be fine for Indi in my experience.

Thank you for this code suggestion. Although I searched in the web previously, I have never found it. I am going to check it asap.

Silly me (apologies RB) I forgot Robert Brown's Windows/Indi Focuser located here - sourceforge.net/projects/arduinofocuscontrollerpro/

contains lot more than just .ino files and is Moonlite compat - excellent project for Windows or Indi focuser based on Arduino.

Starting from my Arduino Uno and Motor Shield Rev3 (store.arduino.cc/arduino-motor-shield-rev3) I have decided that it is better to upload into Arduino the existing and available software github.com/TallFurryMan/moonduino. that include the library AccelStepper (www.airspayce.com/mikem/arduino/AccelStepper/) . The question is: will my hardware work with this library without damages considering that all projects I see in the web have a different HW configuration? Are these setting right ?

#define PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR1 2 //PWM A
#define PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR2 3 //PWM B
#define PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR3 4 //direction A
#define PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR4 5 // direction B

AccelStepper stepper(AccelStepper::FULL4WIRE, PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR1, PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR2, PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR3, PIN_OUTPUT_MOTOR4, false);

Thanks
