when using the focus routine it doesn't give you any numbers, so you have no idea how far its moved, 

I used to be able to set the focus position above 200,000
I've definately manually entered 1,000,000 on a earlier version of kstars

I've been using my scopes with Kstars for over a year without this focus limit problem
this is a new problem after the last Kstars Update
I suppose I could try and downgrade Kstars.
I'll google how to do it.

Thanks for the help everyone,
I'll update if I find a fix that works.

Anyone know how to edit/build/install INDI Drivers pinch.pngsmile.png
 


The way I read this, the problem lies in the Indi driver.  It seems to overwrite any input and sets the maximum position to 200,000.  
I think you could just add a 0 to that, so now the maximum position would be 2,000,000 and then recompile, as Andrew suggested.
Jasem, am I interpreting this code correctly?  I had to change the Arduino MoonLite code at the equivalent position to solve my problem with the max position.
