Why does this matter? Are you planning to base some vital part of the connection on this?
Celestron will probably be thinking of this as a serial interface with a COM port number. It's possible that they have not considered the VID:PID at all, it could easily change without notice.
I am using raspberry pi 4 8gb with ubuntu, kstars/ekos installed.
My mount is a celestron AVX with a celestron focuser attached via ST4 cable to the aux port of the mount.
Ekos will not connect and gives a "port already in use" error.
I think there was an option for the celestron GPS driver in the focuser pulldown I had in astroberry, but does not appear here in ubuntu.
I have updated several times via command line and using the software udpdater GUI app.
If this is indeed the fix, how can i get it? Or, is there another fix? (Using USB is not an option)
Thanks!
A bit embarassing, but evidently, the Celestron AVX selection for the telescope does give you focuser control. On the Indi Control Panel, Celestron AVX tab, there is a sub-tab on far right almost out of view for Focuser. Did not see it till now. Expand the Indi Control Panel window greatly to ensure it is not there already.
That tab may have appeared after I did this update:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libindi
Cannot say for sure.
You don't select anything in the Equipment Profile in Ekos for Focuser, leave it blank (nothing there works).
Celestron Focuser is now operational through the Celestron AVX mount via ST4 cable as intended. No extra cable required and more importantly, not another USB power draw on the pi.
Caveat: Have not tried it live yet. Putting together the system and waiting for some clear air. Just played with moving it using manual controls in Ekos.
