I have made an azeqaltaz branch on my forked repo of libindi to add support for AZEQ5 and AZEQ6 in the indi_skywatcherAltAzMount driver.
I have only tested with that driver and my AZQE5 (in my home office): mount connects as expected, moves, gotos and tracking are functionnal. Only slew speed seems to be always high speed,
and I am not sure what is the home position (telescope pointing North horizon, on the east side of the pier?). East/West direction may also be inverted in my case, North/South is correct.

@Jasem thanks for making the AZGTi update, it has helped me. I don't understand what you mean with 'added a new entry...': where did you add it ?

@Dirk May you test using my above repo ? You would have to recompile the indi core library. Concerning the rfcomm, it may have changed in /dev. I use picocom to make connection tests, just sending the :e1 command (end with CTRL-M).
