To include this on the documentation would be a very good idea.

Or could the driver be included in the installation file for Mac?

Well, I had the issue of KStars not detecting the microtouch focuser under Mac, while it worked fine under Linux. Here’s how I solved it.

First of all, the key was to download the USBtoUART Bridge VCP drivers from Silicon labs for MacOS:

CP210x VCP Mac OSX Driver from www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers

Once installed, KStars 3.5.6 (under Mac Monterrey) detected the Microtouch focuser in Ekos. Hopefully it will be useful for other users.

Thanks Jasem. Second option did the trick. It’s exactly what I was looking for.

Hi

This question may have been asked before, but nevertheless I cannot find a way to grapically frame an object indicating the rotation of the FOV. I can specify the coordinates, but I'd like to rotate the rectangle to make the desired image composition.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Alfredo

Well, only the mount has a serial to USB adaptors. The focuser and the guide camera come through USB 2.0

Any ideas?

I chose the corresponding drivers on the equipment profile, when configuring Ekos, including the QHY driver for the SAAG.

When doing the same under Linux, all of the devices worked perfectly.

Will it be some port configuration? If so, how can be done?

Thanks,

Alfredo

Hi Rob

I'm trying to connect my hardware to Kstars on mac: iOptron CEM60, ZWO 071, Microtouch focuser and Orion SSAG.

Of those pieces, only the ZWO camera gets to connect. Being the SSAG mainly a QHY camera, is it supported now under mac? (your post is of a few months ago)

I'm getting also this message when trying to connect the mount: 2019-06-08T22:58:37: [ERROR] Failed to connect to port (/dev/cu.usbserial). Error: Port failure Error: No such file or directory. Check if device is connected to this port.

And this for the focuser: 2019-06-08T22:58:37: [ERROR] Failed to connect to port (/dev/cu.usbserial). Error: Port failure Error: No such file or directory. Check if device is connected to this port.

Nevertheless, those devices are shown on the "System information" display (from the apple menu on the top bar, so the MacOS is able to see them.

Is it needed to install an app similar to Indi server on windows?

Thank you very much,

Alfredo

A similar situation happens with the Microtouch focuser: Ekos displays the message 2019-06-02T15:54:14 ASCOM MicroTouchServer Focuser1 is disconnected.

It works flawlessly under WIndows 10 with the same ASCOM driver from Sequence Generator Pro. It also works with Ekos under linux.

Please find the log attached.

I'd really like this setup (Orion SSAG, Microtouch focuser) to work from Windows, since it is my main operating system from this machine. The CEM60 mount and the ZWO 071 Pro work without issues from windows.

Regards,

Alfredo
