@Steve, Whilst I hate these kind of bugs, in a way I am glad it is not just a Raspberry Pi problem. It now means that devs can use almost any architecture to find the problem. Thanks for the update.

@astronerd, I am using astroberry on a Pi4/8GB. Mine too used tp connect. Now it NEVER does no matter what I do.

I am sure a fix will come. These guys are good and know what they are about.

@pete
same set up as me, I also have Stellarmate and it’s the same on that too, and the serial port mapper does not work on there anymore, so can’t even use that…..

So it's a bug then. Trust me a a neophyte astroberry user to trip right over it. AT least the bug is now out in the open and nobody is saying it is a user error. For that alone I am pleased.

On a related subject I issued "indiserver" and it says that I have "INDI Library: 1.8.9" I did "sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt update" and I still have 1.8.9. How can I get to 1.9.0 please?

Thanks again.
Pete

Hi everyone
I tested with the newest versions and working OK with the latest git:

~/Projects/indi$ git log
commit e5494e1c868720e1aa6451b74ab2c6aaba3bb831

~/Projects/indi-3rdparty$ git log
commit b77182ffc13372446d855bc8f42859648ad1793e

~/Projects/kstars$ git log
commit 286aea8cf8ad1a1981d2c6a404489bb0a23b2c6e

So you don't have to build everything, as well as the latest kstars, I tested with the stable kstars and the indi from git. Still worked OK.

@pete, you can’t using those commands until @radek upgrades the Astroberry PPA on his side….you will have to build INdI from source for the very latest…

Ha! I though that is what you would say. I think I shall wait until radek updates the files. I cannot use astroberry with my rig right now anyway so I may as well wait for the fik and then new files. This is not a problem. Thank you for telling me. I have a LOT to learn here.

@Pete
Not sure if the is a temporary solution for you, but if you have a laptop running Linux it's easy to build the whole works from the ground up. On an old i3 it took us less than an hour.

@Steve,

Thanks very much.. I actually downloaded kubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop yesterday with the intent of putting that on an old Dell E6420 laptop I have here so you post was both timely and helpful.

For the next week I am reverting to Windows 10 since I have another laptop with a known and stable install on it and I really want to see the twinkly bits this weekend.

My end goal is to have the Pi 4/8GB back on the scope and working. That way I just VNC into it from anywhere. Yo see I am at the start of building my own Roll-off-roof observatory. Right no I have the concrete pad laid and this September I shall build the building. Right now I have a 1 hour drive to my pad so it is not too much hassle not to have the Pi on the scope.

I hope that radek posts an update fairly soon though.

Question: How will I know when he has done so? Will there be a form announcement or flash banner? Don't wanna miss it.

Again thank you for thinking of me and passing alone that information.
Pete

Old topic but the issue is still not solved. Below is the sequence of steps that worked in my case.
  

you are a genius！worked for me like a charm for me. I am having exactly the same chip in my USBTTL cable.

Scratching my head for a day, and even teared apart my az gti to check connections, and ripped off the cable to test the if the cable itself worked or not.

I guess ppl having this issue may have got the USB TTL cable ID conflicted with udev rules already in place.

Hi, I have done the first step but how do i open the folder with all the rules, sorry but I'm not to clever with technology as you can see,
.
im running astroberry on pi4 and my mount is power by a eq star wich run fine but i got a eq star pro and cant connect to it, port already used error,
it will be much appreciated if you could explain it in more detail
thanks

"...how do i open the folder with all the rules"

Hi
cd /lib/udev/rules.d
