I did write a DDW dome driver and it's included in INDI. I don't know if they have multiple versions of the controller or if there have been updates, but it's worth a try at least.

Drivers link the base INDI library dynamically and when that changes, they need to be recompiled to match the base library version. If they are not in sync, crashes usually happen. For 3rd-party drivers that are not part of the base INDI package this may take a while in the PPA process so it's best to wait a bit or recompile the drivers yourself.

Hi John,

found the reason, I had focus mechanics -> walk set to classic so Focus::setDonutBuster() unchecked it but I could re-check it. Setting it to fixed steps or CFZ shuffle maintains the donut buster setting. According to the comment that is expected, but it was a bit confusing that the setting is available. So i'm not actually sure if I have tested the functionality at all yet :)

This is with latest master compiled just now, the subsettings like time dilation do get saved, but the main donut buster checkbox is always unset when I start Ekos. I compile KStars pretty much daily so it might be that my settings are in some sort of limbo state in case some incompatible changes have been made.

The feature works very well with my 8" RC, but doesn't seem to get saved so I need to re-enable it every time. Is this intentional or some local problem for me?

The INDI control panel UI is automatically generated from the properties INDI drivers expose, there is no manual source for them in KStars.

The code in INDI and libXISF is correct and compiles fine for me (on Linux though, but shouldn't matter in this case), but my guess is that your compiler finds an older version of the header, which didn't yet have the added function, from somewhere instead of the one you have compiled (did you also install it somewhere or point CMake to it?)

I noticed the same some time ago and did a bit of debugging it in PHD2 and it seemed to have something to do wit how the automatic restoration of the calibration is run after connecting INDI devices, the state is not what it expects yet and it occasionally skips or discards the calibration. You can see this by the red cal text in PHD2. Manually restoring the calibration via menu tools -> modify calibration -> restore calibration data... restores it for that session correctly however, but is annoying if you forget to check it when starting PHD2. However, automatic calibration restoration has worked fine for me again the last few days I've tried, and there was an update to how INDI device connection is handled in PHD2 so that might have fixed it.
