Might be worth raising the issue on the Indi git site. From what you describe it sounds like the button settings aren't being saved as part of the config (but that's a guess on my part).

For the new website, I'll revamp the tutorial section, so far I had these tutorials in mind:

* Exposure calculator: Cover exposure calculator in Ekos (not INDI specific but could be interesting)
* Watchdog: Explain how to use Watchdog driver
* DIY Roof controller: How to make a roof controller with INDI
* INDI on Windows WSL2: How to get INDI built on Windows with WSL2
* OnStep Controls: Guide on using OnStep (hardware + software).
* Build Weather Station: Talk about how to build weather station and use weatherradio driver (or other driver)
* Develop with Python: Python tutorial for client control , setup..etc.
* Write Your First Client in C++: Small tutorial on build a simple INDI client
* Scripting with INDI: Overview of INDI scripting tools
* Embedded INDI: Overview on how to install INDI on embedded devices, maybe talk about the scripts and distributions available today that can help users to get started
* Automated Flats: How to set up automated flats in ekos and what hardware can be used to achieve this
* Write INDI Device Driver: how to write your first device driver, documentation, how to submit, how to prepare dev environment

Please suggest any other topics and whether you can help in writing any tutorials. I can't possibly manage all above.

Problem Description
Despite correct settings in the "Optical trains module", my guiding camera is currently displayed under primary in the "Imaging module". All functions of the "Imaging Camera (ASI 1600 MM pro)" work. I can use the cooling, but the ASI 174 MM mini is always displayed.
Of course, I have recreated the profile and the train, reset everything, etc. It didn't help.
What could be the issue?

Problem Description:
I am using a Celestron OAG and a ZWO ASI 174 MM mini for guiding. This camera does not have cooling, so the dark frames need to be recorded at the current temperature.
When I want to use my correctly captured darks in the guiding module, I get a relatively unspecific error message saying something like "...now suitable dark frames...". I suspect that this error is related to the recording temperature of the dark frames, which is listed in the table.
In the Dark module, there is an undocumented parameter "T. Threshold:". I assume this refers to an "acceptable temperature range." Is my assumption correct? How should one precisely understand the "T. Threshold"? Where is the reference point for this range? Does it mean a temperature range of +/- the reference point, or perhaps a range from 0 °C to "T. Threshold"? The unit is "°Celsius". For a delta T, it should technically be Kelvin, or at least just degrees. This confuses me a bit.
Does anyone have experience with this or is there a part of the documentation that I have overlooked?

I thank everyone in advance for the discussion and the tips.

Hello,
I see theres and indiserver gui on the desktop, I can get it to autostart at boot, but it doesnt start the indiserver itself. I have to hit the "start indi server" button. Is it possible to just autostart the server with the correct drivers on boot? thanks.

I am running Kstars 3.6.8 on an Rpi4 with an Ubuntu 22.04 OS. I have a CGEM DX mount and I am experiencing the same latency, fortunately I am not, currently, chasing comets. What is the solution in my case? Is the mod in an Indi Control setting, a driver or in Kstars/Ekos itself?

Hi John, yes that’s exactly what I do, but the step size defaults back to zero…

You can try to install pid with the command

Hi Avocette,

I don't have a joystick so can't try this but have you tried setting the Indi params how you want them and then saving the configuration (Options->Save). These should then be loaded on startup.

I’m generally enjoying very good results from Linear 1-Pass autofocus on various scopes (Newtonian, Maksutov-Cassegrain, and Refractors) using the ZWO EAF. I also have a joystick, set up to use a couple of buttons for focus-in and focus-out steps. The Indi Control Panel step setting is always set to zero when I start Ekos, so the buttons do nothing until I change the step setting from zero. It would be great if this new value should be stored for the next session.

Thanks Ed, much happy things are working good for you! And thanks for the kind words!

release 1.8 has been a great milestone and we pushed hard to add some small but in our opinions important quality of life improvements. This has been also the first "community" release where few folks (Stefan, Matteo and Maurizio) helped me with very important things, power of the community!

Let's goooo!
