Hello! I'm a KStars/EKOS/INDI newbie (1 week) so please bear with my stupid questions!

I am trying out KStars on my MacBook. I want to see if I can use it to run my equipment instead of using EQMOD + Cartes du Ciel + PHD2 + EOS BackYard running in Windows7 in a virtual machine on my MacBook.

So far so good. It's been a bit of a steep learning curve. Nevertheless I've successfully got KStars controlling my mount. It also works with my Canon 450D and my guide camera.

The specific problem I'm having is getting KStars/EKOS/INDI to work with the gamepad I use to control the mount at the telescope.

I understand I have to connect the gamepad to the mount in the Device Manager as described here: indilib.org/support/tutorials/135-contro...ools-menu-gt-devices

When I do this I get the error message: " ... make sure the package that provides the indi_joystick binary is installed."

Any suggestions how I do this?
