Ok, thanks for the info.
I changed my script to only work with setSolverArguments(), but due to the clouds here I could only test my script with the simulators.

I found something weird coming from the getSolutionResult(). I get some weird results when using this function.

This is an excerpt from my script:
solvedcoord=ifaceekos.getSolutionResult() #ra and dec from solved
RA_solved=solvedcoord[0]
DEC_solved=solvedcoord[1]

This is what I see in the Ekos log when I do a platesolve with captureAndSolve() from the script:
2017-04-14T21:10:26 Target is within acceptable range. Astrometric solver is successful.
2017-04-14T21:10:26 Target is within 0° 00' 19" degrees of solution coordinates.
2017-04-14T21:10:26 Solution coordinates: RA (07h 33m 02s) DEC (-21° 28' 14") Telescope Coordinates: RA (07h 33m 02s) DEC (-21° 27' 54")

This is what my script output produces (from the excerpt from above). The getstatus() produced value 1 (completed).
2017-04-14 21:10:26,394 Returnstatus: 1
2017-04-14 21:10:26,394 Returnstatus: COMPLETE
2017-04-14 21:10:26,394 RA solved: 90.001477117
2017-04-14 21:10:26,394 DEC solved: 113.075466756
2017-04-14 21:10:26,395 Solve status: 1
2017-04-14 21:10:26,395 Solve function found a solution

Now, according to the documentation, these numbers are the ra and dec values in degrees. But they don't resemble the ra or dec or even the alt/az even remotely. I wonder.. what are these numbers? :blink:

Oh, and another issue, I've noticed that the sync command of the telescope simulator sometimes crashes/blocks. This is when I execute captureAndSolve(), with the setSolverAction(1) set on value "1" (slew). I tested quite a bit for debugging the script and this happened like 5% of the times. Nothing in the indi/kstars logs; except the command sync is issued. Something minor, but maybe useful to know.
