I'm not sure where I should see that?

Disconnect the moonlite and eqmod, open a terminal and type

dmesg -w

This will print out all kernel messages so far and will wait (that's what the -w does) for new messages. Now plugin the moonlite. Now leave the moonlite connected and also connect the eqmod. Copy the new lines and paste them here.

I currently don't have access to my mount, I don't think I'll be able to reproduce this with simulator drivers unfortunately.
Basically that's what I received though:
2020-06-14T17:22:12: [INFO] Error retreiving data from MoonLite, please ensure MoonLite controller is powered and the port is correct.

Try to install a 10uF capacitor connected betwee GND and RST arduino's pin

There was a capacitor initially, but it worked flawlessly on windows with whatever program I used(SGP, NINA, firecapture, sharpcap), so I didn't install it on the new arduino board.
The capacitor should disable auto reset or something like that I think, is there any logic for it to work on windows and not work with indi?

I do not know the problem, but it is not related to the arduino code, or the moonlite driver. I have the same issue with myfocuser 2 pro, but i need to try with the capacitor. Other times it connects without problems

Oh you're experiencing the exact same problem?

Yes random. I think that isrelated ti Arduino that reset on serial connection and the code ti ger the motore position. Capacitior should evitate this.

That's very interesting, I'll surely give it a try when I have the chance, will you be able to let me know if you tried it too?

Thanks!

I tested it now with and without the capacitor. Without the capacitor some problem in the connection with or without unplug the usb port. With the capacitor no problem on connection in about 10 times

That is awesome! I'll give it a shot when I get the chance, I have some capacitors, but I'm not sure I have exactly 10uF capacitor, do you know if it makes much of a difference?

Thanks

I do not know if other capacitor works. With arduino nano 10uF works, you can do a simple search for arduino block autoreset with your specific board type
