Since i'm not experienced in rebuilding indilib and eqmod; when will this fix be in the daily build?
And if that takes a long time; where can i find instructions on how to rebuild EQMod with the fix?

Thanks in advance!

See number 3 here.
indilib.org/forum/general/210-howto-buil...st-libindi-ekos.html

Use the same process to clone Eqmod and build it from source from GitHub.

I had to figure out how but I built libindi and then Eqmod and joystick control is now working.
Thank you!

Now, how do I get back to the production build once this is incorporated?

Some info that I hope is helpful.
After looking some more I noticed that in Indi control panel the driver info on Astroberry shows 0.3 and on Astropi3 it shows 0.4, for EQMod.
Astroberry does not strop tracking with joystick input. So this was working in 0.3.

I tried to build and have the same error.

Ah ha. Found another person reporting the same thing. I confirmed what he said. If you use the Mount Control to skew and then joystick it will reengage tracking.

A couple issues on my last session.

Now just to figure out why I can see the Bayer mask. Still scratching my head on that one.
Also, can’t figure out why video is black and white and images are color.

Rob, after looking some more I noticed that in Indi control panel the driver info on Astroberry shows 0.3 and on Astropi3 it shows 0.4, for EQMod.
Looks like the ZWO driver is older on Astroberry too. I wonder if that is why I'm not seeing the bayer mask squares. I think I'd like to use your image, AstroPi3, because it seems a little faster, but need to resolve these things.
Is there a way to install the older driver?

Does this happen on just one mount or any mount? You can use the mount simulator or simulate a different mount that you don’t have by turning on the simulator in the driver settings. Does it happen right away or when you do certain things with the joystick? Does it turn off again if you turn tracking back on? Can you try getting a log file while the error is happening?

Thanks, Rob

Hey Rob.
I tired using the simulator and this does not happen. Which tells me that something is different with the INDI EQMOD drivers used by Astroberry than with AstroPi3 or from what I installed in Raspbian Stretch. Agree? Is there a way to tell what drivers are installed?

Tracking stops as soon as you use the joystick to slew the mount. In the simulator as soon as you stop using the joystick tracking resumes. I can see that in the log also.

I created a video showing these steps.
Using PI running AstroPi3 and Orion Sirius mount with joystick connected to pi
1. Launch Kstars
2. Connect to INDI Server
3. Track an object
4. Use Joystick to slew mount
5. Status goes to Idle and Tracking stops

Using PI running AstroPi3 and Telescope Simulator mount with joystick connected to pi
1. Connect to INDI Server
2. Track an object
3. Use Joystick to slew mount
4. Status returns to tracking

The video is on this dropbox link.

Hey man. Just getting around to trying this. I loaded Unbutu and your script. Very cool. Love the dashboard with the system stats!
I’ve got the same problem with this install that I have with Raspbian Stretch. Using the joystick control makes tracking stop. I’ve also been playing with Astroberry and that’s the only install that doesn’t seem to do this. Any suggestions?
Also, when viewing live video from my ASI224MC I see squares on the image. I’ve compared the settings and they look the same as Astroberry. Not sure what to adjust.
Any help is much appreciated.

Ok guys. Let me first apologize. I was trying out 2 different things and ended up confusing them
1. Raspberry Pi running Stretch with INDI drivers installed
2.Raspberry Pi running Astroberry Unbutu Mate

The problem is on Stretch. With just the INDI drivers I can connect Kstars client to the pi INDI server. I can control the mount correctly, but joystick input stops the tracking.
This does not happen with Unbutu Mate Astroberry.

I reloaded the SD card with Astroberry and joystick is working.
I also connected to it from my desktop from Kstars and joystick is working.
