Great! Any instructions on how to get from the .cpp and .h files on git to an installed driver in Ekos?

If you install INDI from GIT, it should be there next time you start. You can wait until KStars 3.6.2 is released next week.

I just upgraded to KStars 3.6.2 and now have access to the new Pegasus Uranus Meteo Station INDI driver. Excellent! That is a whole lot of info right there at your fingertips to monitor conditions.

There are however a few questions, mostly related to not understanding how the various measurements carry through to other parts of the application:
- In the observatory module, none of the values matches the ones from the INDI driver (either 'Sensors' or 'Environment' tab
- In the observatory module, there is no change in values if I select 'Pegasus UPB' (to which I have not plugged in the weather sensor) or 'Uranus Meteo sensor'
- Between INDI driver, Observatory and MountWizzard4, none of the Temperatures seem to match (see screenshot)







- MountWizzard4 seems to pickup the values from the 'Parameters' tab. Is it possible to add Pressure and Dewpoint to the Parameters tab? (see screenshot)







Do others experience the same?

Ysterday I received my Uranus meteo station and installed it.
It looks like the Kstars for Windows is readind the local time from the device as universal time.
If im updateing the GPS in the INDI control panel for the meteo station the local time in the Kstars is the local time plus the 3 hours for my time zone in Jeddah.

It seems for me that balso the plots for the measured parameters is not working properly.

Not having much experience with this item I might be wrong.

Best regards

Will the updates of the Uranus driver be in the new KStars version that is about to be released?

Did another test today with latest KStars/Ekos and weather info is now consistent between locations. I noticed that I can select the Uranus driver under 'weather' and under 'Aux'. Does it make any difference which one to use? I've now selected under Aux, which allows the selection of an online weather source (Openweathermap) as well.

Hi,

I have the same question.

Also, I cannot manage to have this device fix a GPS position and thus update KStars. Did you manage ? The device gets a fix when it is NOT connected to Stellarmate, but once I connect it via usb to the PI, it doesn't anymore. Is there something special to do?

Thanks

I connected mine today and I see in the log panel that it updated the mount location which is correct but it was not correcting the Kstars clock. Anybody got this working. I am running 3.6.6.
