I have a question related to the possibility of using 2 focusers of myfocuserpro2 type in one setup with INDI and EKOS.
I am trying to do it in this way:
Step 1: in terminal start indiserver and 2 instances of the myfocuserpro2 drivers
Step 2: in Ekos in focuser field
fill myfocuserpro2 Step 3: Start Ekos Step 4: in Indi control pannel, select the target UBS port (let’s say USB0) to get the needed myfocuserpro2 connected.
Is there another way to do it ?
I tried to configure EKOS to use the 2nd focuser by filling AUX 1 field but without success.
I am thinking about using the interacting driver starting like below to able to give different names to the focusers to be able to differentiate them in EKOS
However... I have 2 MyfocuserPro version 1, and they are identical in all respects. I can attach them as you say in Ekos, one as Focuser, and one as Aux. But I have no way of knowing which is which nor to make this consistent. All because the Raspberry cannot see any difference between them.
So what I did, was to use 2 raspberries: One focuser attached to each (and of course, Ekos running on both). Doing that, I can give the focuser on Raspberry 2 and alias (for instance Moonlite2) and then connect to it as a remote device from Raspberry 1, and then just do everything from Raspberry 1. I can explain in more detail if you wish.
