Hi Jasem, worked like a dream.....many thanks, hope it helps other users out.... I found that the driver crashes when you ask the scope to park..just after the command is issued, ekos/ indi indicates a driver crash. the scope keeps on moving to the home position. I've included the log file from the latest trial..
thanks again,and clear skies..
Terry

We saw this before with other mount drivers as well and there it was due to the park data file having become corrupt. Try deleting the .indi/ParkData.xml file, start KStars and Ekos and finally set the park position anew.


HTH, Wouter

Hi Wouter, just tried that....no change, doesn't even recreate the Parkdata file.... don't understand. I know the starbooks are very tempremental...
Thanks for the idea

Hi Jasem, does it make any difference to ekos / indi if the latitude is displayed as -3° or as 357°? It seems to try and default to 357°, and I change it
cheers

Not sure why it's crashing on park. Try to put this in a browser:
What response do you get back?

Hi, just tried it.... Result: OKHTTP/1.0 200 OK OK scope moved to home position

Run the driver via gdb in the terminal:
In Ekos, create a new profile, turn off Auto Connect and add CCD Simulator + Starbook. Set mode to remote and leave it to localhost. In Logs, make sure to select Verbose Logging to File, check INDI + Mount. Click Start then in INDI Control Panel --> Starbook --> Options, make sure "Driver Debug" is checked. Then go back to Main Control Panel and press "Connect". Park the mount and Check the terminal to see if the driver crashed, if it did, type backtrace and paste the trace here. Also attach the KStars log file.

Hi, it worked as it should......no crashes.

odd.... the debug isn't suppose to fix anything, it's just to record backtraces in case of crash.

forgot the log file....

Seems to be working fine at the moment.....will try over the weekend.
thanks for all your help and patience.....
Happy 50th

I am part of this discussion because I am very interested.
I have a Vixen SXP with StarBook Ten and during my first tests with Kstars I got to use it.
After making the first configuration, the StarBook Ten was
immediately recognized and connected and many commands, they worked perfectly,
however I found some big problems with the assisted Polar Allign e
with the Plate Solver and after making many attempts,
following the advice they suggested to me on this forum,
I had to abandon all of this and believe the problem
is due to the fact that the drive is NOT for the StarBook Ten, but for the Starbook (or at least I think).
But I didn't understand if the drive has to be installed manually,
because if so, the problem could be that,
because I simply selected it from the EKOS settings.
If it needs to be downloaded instead, you could tell me where I can do the
download and how to install it on my Mac with High Sierra.
The only problem is that right now I couldn't do any tests,
why I had to send the StarBook Ten to service, why
I have problems with the buttons, which don't work well and seen that
without him I can't use the mount, I decided to send too
this under maintenance.
Thank you
