Hi,
I have just received my shiny new CEM25p and wanted to connect to it via indi. I have been using indi for months to connect to my guide camera. It is indi v1.4.1 built from sources.
I connect an USB-rs232 converter to a laptop and connect it to the serial port of the mount. On the Linux machine I have a Win7 virtual machine, where - if the USB device is passed through - the mount works via ASCOM confirming that both the converter and the mount is OK.
I am trying to use the indi_lx200zeq25 driver - though tried other ones with no success. Both from phd2 and from "cartes de ciel" I can see the server offering the zeq25 but I cannot connect. With phd2 connection to the mount fails - probably timeout, in CDC just nothing happens. It seems to me that the driver is not communicating with the mount at all.
The port seems to be working and setup fine:
phd@mercury:~> stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 -a
speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^A; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O;
min = 1; time = 0;

I switched on debug logging in the INDi control panel and this is what I can see in the debug log:
phd@mercury:~/.indi/logs/2017-06-21/indi_lx200zeq25> cat indi_lx200zeq25_09:17:46.log

I also tried to start the server with -vvv switch but there seems to be not much information regarding the communication between the mount and the driver. I'm attaching the log output.
Can someone please advise how to proceed?
