I have a new version of the lx200 (Meade) driver available and do not have access to an lx200GPS scope

I have tested myself with my 497 based autostar and true circa 2002 lx200 classic.

The driver changes are primarily adding a mutex lock on anything that touches 'tty' and also extending the size of the read buffer in isSLewComplete to handle from 1 to 33 char length responses (33 chars from lx200 classic, a few chars from autostar and lx200gps).

The issue I believe resolved was when indi was used with the scope at the other end of a tcp link (not indi, just scope). The SLewComplete was only reading up to8 chars with a flush after read, but at same time the IsSlewCOmplete was executing there was also a :GR# executing so slew never finished and "GR# failed every time because of the flush after read in IsSlewComplete, forever cycle of Error Reading RA/DEC after a slew attempt.

Any takers?

I can supply source or binaries for Ubuntu or Raspberry pi

Thank you for your time,

Gene

well, it's in master and stable now so IF there are issues, we'd hear back. But I tested it locally without any issues so far.

Thanks Jasem!
