Thanks for the reply Ron.

Do you know what settings (baud rate etc) that you use to get it connected?

I've tried connecting the mount directly to the USB2.0 ports on the Pi4 (running Stellarmate) and it doesn't seem to work either as well as having no luck having the mount connected to the PegasusAstro PocketPower hub. It has two USB2.0 ports but does connect to the Pi4 over one of its USB3.0 ports.

I seem to have a different model CEM40 to what is referred to in the iOptron manual. In that manual there is a USB port for mount control (near the iport for the hand controller) and one for the iPolar on the back of the mount. Mine does have a 2nd USB port BUT it's located on the saddle of the mount itself.

Is the USB port on saddle mount the port to use for mount control on this updated CEM40?

I tried 2-3 of those options including "Default" Jasem.

Am having issues attaching screen shots of the configuration and profile config pages

Hi folks,

I have a CEM40 iOptron mount that I've not been able to use just yet as I can't seem to get my Pi4 Stellarmate to connect to it. I have been trying two ways
- cable the USB from the mount to everything into my Pegasus Astro Pocket power book advance and have its USB3 goto one of the USB3's on the Pi4.
- cable the USB from mount directly into the Pi4

I've attached some screen shots of the profile configuration and of the "connection" tab in the INDI sections.

Welcome any advice/tips from iOptron users on getting their mounts connected to EKOS.


Thanks in advance, Craig

I'll try to get some logs but yes the image quality is look OK and I've been using 4-5 seconds as the length of image taken. The exposure time I'm using is the same for the plate solving as the time I use for the setting in the "refresh" section. It consistently fails to plate solve the second you start the refresh after 4-5 iterations of parking/unpark/track/run through the three movements (which all plate solve to give me my initial PA error).

I saw the same thing. Plate solving repeatedly failed after the first three worked that established the PA error. So had to park the mount and restart the process again and it got stuck each time in the same place.

Thank you SO much for the quick response Chris, that's exactly what I was missing. I'm pretty rusty after not imaging for a while and think I checked everywhere but that properties window dang it.

Same for me too. I updated Stellarmate to the latest (stable) version in the last week as well. First night out in a while and despite it plate solving well the plate solving when you hit "refresh" never worked once. This led to guiding accuracy issues (just asked another question about that as jobs wouldn't start) so in essence a whole night lost........
