Hello Wolfgang,

Thank you for the very fast response. From the look of the screenshots it's exactly what I need.

I've run into some difficulty installing the new driver; largely, I think, due to my ignorance and inexperience. I've never done any C coding and have never used cmake.

I followed the INSTALL instructions on branch: stargo-1.9 and after typing cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/indi-avalon
Got the message: "bash: cmake: command not found"
Without changing directory (I didn't think of changing until later), I installed cmake
sudo apt-get install cmake
this appeared to install OK

I then ran the INSTALL cmake command again cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/indi-avalon
"CMake Error: The source directory "/home/astroberry/indi/3rdparty/indi-avalon" does not exist.

I then followed these instructions at indilib.org/download.html to make sure I had indilib installed

Stable Release
INDI Library is available for Raspbian Buster. To install stable INDI Library, run the following commands:

wget -O - www.astroberry.io/repo/key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo su -c "echo 'deb www.astroberry.io/repo/ buster main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/astroberry.list"
sudo apt update

No errors were reported. It appeared to install cleanly.

I then went back to your INSTALL instructions and to avoid the error with not finding the 3rd party/avalon-indi directory, I ran

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
Cmake started to run but after 24 or so lines of print-out said

-- CFITSIO not found.
-- CFITSIO not found.
"CMake Error at cmake_modules/FindNova.cmake :49 (message):
libnova not found. Please install libnova development package."

Also CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log files were created, but I don't understand what they're trying to tell me.

I searched for cmake libnova and did not find information that I could use to install libnova.

I'm afraid I'm not being of much help, but I'm willing to keep trying if you can point me in the right direction.

Perhaps this is all too much for the forum and we should take it off line?
