After installing the lastest nightly build (KSTARS 3.3.9) within Stellarmate, I'm seeing that my
Skywatcher mount no longer connects when the EQMOD INDI driver tries to startup.

The following message pops during the connection attempt:
"INDI Driver EQMod Mount crashed"

Logs attached for reference
logs for v3.3.8 (successful connections)
logs for v3.3.9 (EQMOD mount fails to connect)


Rolling back to KSTARS 3.3.8 solves the issue

For information:
I'm looking to get the latest FITS header fixes that come with the latest nightly build to allow me to use ASTAP for platesolving

Currently ASTAP fails to solve (CDELT keywords issue) and looking at this post there is a fix for the CDELT FITS header issue in the latest nightlies

I observe that ASTAP solve works as expected on my setup when given an image with the CDELT keywords in the FITS header

I checked my recent image FITS headers and observe that they do not contain the CDELT keywords, so I'm looking for the recent fix in the latest 3.3.9. nightlies to overcome that

Equipment:
Skywatcher EQ5 Mount/EQMOD
Canon 600D DSLR
Altair 80mm refractor
ZWO CCD ASI224MC Guide Camera
MyFocuserPro2 focuser
Stellarmate 1.4.3 (Raspberry Pi 4)
Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB)

Logged as an issue here

Yes. Confirming. Updated today - EQMod (AZ-GTi) doesn't work.
Reverted to Nov 24 backup - all works.
(SM 1.4.3 on RPI4)

This is most likely a build issue, especially if you're using nightlies. Maybe a rebuild will resolve the issue.

Thanks Jasem

From what you've shared it sounds like you are suggesting this might be a build issue, so i take it that one approach might be for me to do a local full compile from source, right?

I'll give that a go and confirm the outcome
