Hi all,

I guess I can confirm a similar problem. I set up a new Indi/Kstars installation based on Kubuntu 16.04 about two weeks ago. Now I attached an USB focus v3. In the indi control panel, the USB focus v3 works fine, including enabling temperature compensation and focusing in and out by providing a number of relative ticks.

However, any endeavours of controlling the USB focus v3 from Ekos in the focus tab has not been successful. Moving the focus updates the tick display, but trying to focus in or out manually, or staring an autofocus run in Ekos does not move the focus motor.

I'm not sure whether this is related to the same problem, but controlling the focus motor by a joystick does also not work for me. It is possible to activate joystick support in indi, and to configure the corresponding joystick buttons. However, pressing any buttons at my joystick does not move the focus, regardless of which buttons I try to configure.

Please let me know, if I can provide any additional information from my side.
