Darren Poulson created a new topic ' Focus driver via PPBA' in the forum. 3 years ago

Hi,

I've got a Pegasus Power Box Advance, and also purchased the External Motor Controller and motor to control the focus. This isn't currently supported by the PPBA driver, so I thought I'd try and contribute back and extend the current driver. After chatting with Pegasus Astro, they have kindly updated their documentation to include the serial commands for the XMC device (if connected)

I'm just reading through some of the dev documents, but my question is on the best way to structure this.

As it communicates over the same serial to USB interface as the PPBA, I'm assuming it has to be part of the same driver as only one device can connect to the serial port at once. I would just need to add the INDI::Focuser class to it and insert the controls and any other code needed?

Cheers,

Darren.
