I am coding my focuser based on Arduino/Motoshield board with the Moonlight protocol. I would test the communication between Ekos and the Arduino. For this I have generated /dev/arduinofocuser by udev linux command. From the INDI Control panel have set the Focuser="Moonligh" and the CCD simulator. At the first connection I had the problem that the port was /dev/ttyUSB0. So I clicked on the Connection panel tab and set these values /dev/arduinofocuser, Serial and speed 9600. I tried to connect again the focuser but I have the message:

"Error retreiving data from Moonlight, please ensure Moonligth controller is powered and the port is correct". Two questions:

Is the focusr configuration in EKOS right or I have missed something?
Does the Moonlight protocol expect an initialisation message at the first connection with the focuser or the choice Moonlight is wrong and for this reason I have to create my device?
Thank you
