Cannot connect to eqmod through raspberry was created by johann

Hi,

I'm playing around with Indi, it looks great but I got into troubles in connecting the mount with EQMod.
  • Local Mode: AZEQ6 mount > EQDIRECT-USB > Local Ubuntu laptop with indi and Kstars => eqmod connection OK
  • Client Server Mode: AZEQ6 mount > EQDIRECT-USB > Ubuntu laptop with indi server on network > Ubuntu laptop with kstars and Eko => eqmod connection OK
  • Client Server Mode with Raspberry 2: AZEQ6 mount > EQDIRECT-USB > Raspberry 2 with indi server on network > Ubuntu laptop with kstars and Eko => eqmod connection <strong>KO</strong>

So the mount and the EQDirect cable are working well.

The logs

Hi,

After spending hours to figure out what was going on, I figured out there was a contact failure in the EQDirect cable. So it was a coincidence that it worked only on Unbutu Laptop.

Anyway, now it works well on Raspberry.
