I'm trying to connect my Skywatcher Alt-Az mount from KStars. But I'm having an issue "Failed to connect to Skywatcher Alt-Az. Please ensure device is connected and powered on."
What can be the reason, if it is powered on and connected to my laptop?

Before connecting, make connection settings on the operation panel of the driver.

If it is WIFI, connect to the AZGTi wireless system → Set the IP and port on the control panel and save → Connect

There can be several reasons why you're unable to connect your Skywatcher Alt-Az mount to KStars, even if it's powered on and connected to your laptop. Some possible reasons are:

Incorrect driver: Ensure that you have installed the correct driver for your Skywatcher Alt-Az mount.

Incorrect port selection: Double-check that you have selected the correct port for your mount in KStars' settings.

Cable issue: Verify that the cable connecting your Skywatcher Alt-Az mount to your laptop is functioning correctly. Try using a different cable if you have one.

Power issue: Make sure that your Skywatcher Alt-Az mount is receiving power and that the power source is functioning correctly.

Compatibility issue: Verify that your Skywatcher Alt-Az mount is compatible with KStars. Check the KStars documentation or support forums for compatibility information.
