Now I'm on the 4th year with Raspberry, still not working.

I have the Raspberry Pi4 with 4GB RAM. My earlier problem with focusing I have put on pause, I now know that older Canon lenses can't operate in remote focus mode when set to manual on the lens.

The software is Astroberry 2.0.3. It solved a lot of my earlier problem, but still I can't get it to work.

Now my real problem is how to get EQMOD Mount to work. I bought a new mount, this time the HEQ5, my older EQ6 mount had a special gear ratio after timing belt modification and it wasn't possible to setup in the Indi version of EQMOD.

Now that problem is solved with the new mount.

The new problem is this: When I connect more devices the EQMOD Mount disconnect after a couples of minutes. It dosen't matter if it's connected direct to the RP or through the 10 ports powered HUB.

This are the devices:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub, internal USB HUB
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 Serial (UART) IC, EQDIRECT Cable (Mount)
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. external USB HUB
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. external USB HUB
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0461:0033 Primax Electronics, Ltd, USB-Focus
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 16c0:296d Van Ooijen Technische Informatica, QHY5 guide camera
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:5411 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.  external USB HUB
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2109:3431 VIA Labs, Inc. Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub, internal USB HUB

If I have only the EQMOD connected direct to the RP it works.

This is the error message:

I also have the GPSD installed in virtual mode. But it didn't work without it either. If I understand it correct I must have GPSD installed to get correct location, which I setup in GPSD.

Will there be any stars in my telescope ?
