Stellarmate is a product running KStars. It is available as a full hardware/software product or just the OS, which I purchased.
I also have AstroBerry on a separate SD card.
Why am I using Stellarmate? No reason. I thought I'd try the "INDI" thing on it first.
I can always do the same thing for Astroberry.
OK, I just did an sudo apt install indi-full and got a couple of errors.
So I did "sudo apt-get update" and then ran "sudo apt install indi-full" and it worked -no errors.
Long line re-ran and no errors.
I'll try the second part again......
Same error on cmake

Web Manager seems to be starting the Driver OK (see attachment).
Then why is Ekos giving me an error? (see attachment)
without knowing which version of indi-sv305 is installed in your system, it will not be easy to say. What we can do is do a reinstall of sv305 and take it from there.
can you check what you see when you run this command
ls /usr/include/libindi/*
also do this:
cd <>/indi-sv305/build/
rm * -f
cmake ../ -DINDI_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/libindi -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
The driver has been accepted to INDI 3rd party repository and the primary Ubuntu PPA + StellarMate are now updated and contain the driver. No need to compile directly unless you really need to.
Was the issue fixed? For those of us who'd built the driver locally, can we now use the 3rd party driver repository? And is that update via regular sudo apt update? (sorry, I've been finishing school and am now back ready to get the SV305 ready as a guider)
Thanks
I am assuming it was, because AstroDMX was just relased for the RPi and it works perfectly with my SV305. I downloaded and installed the 32-bit Debian Installer.
I am still waiting on news for KStars.
I've update everything, still cannot connect. I see three svbony options now available to indi profile:
SV305 CCD
SVBONY
SVBONY SV305
All fail, two - "..ccd" and "..sv305" fail with: "indy driver crashed" and log shows: "Unable to establish: + SVBONY SV305 Please ensure the device is connected and powered on." and the other can't be found.
Any ideas? At this point I'm considering starting over, as the driver is now avail. If i were to go that route, how would I remove all of the existing SV305-related build files/folders/remnants? Any considerations to be aware of re: removing those files (file/folder paths, anything like that in Linux?). Thanks
First I renamed all 3 of the indi_sv305_ccd files I had placed in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and /usr/lib, that i had copied to try to get it to work, to indi_sv305_ccd.old.
Next I renamed indi_sv305_ccd.xml in /usr/share/indi to indi_sv305_ccd.xml.old.
Then I ran the "sudo apt-get -y install indi-sv305" as suggested by knro.
Then I reselected the "SVBONY SV305" driver in Web Manager and Started it.
Then I reselected that same driver in my Profile, saved it, and pressed "Start Ekos"
And Voila! (see attachment)
The only error is a "set gain" error but I'm sure that will be fixed.
Thank you knro and all who helped in this endeavour.
