Hi Junwei,

Thank you for finding my tutorial useful! It has been a while since I last used this method as I upgraded my camera to a ZWO this summer, but I'll see what I can do.

It could be that it is no longer compatible with the current version of the driver although I doubt that.
to answer your questions:
1.
the port "pseudo" is indeed assigned to the dslr driver as this is the fake serial port. The port "software" is used by the python script to interact with the pseudo port. There is no need to assign a port to the EQMod driver. The EQMod driver is controlled using the "Mount.SNAPPORT1.SNAPPORT1" commands. In order to check if this is the correct command for your mount I believe you can use the "indi_getprop" command in a terminal window on your rpi. It should list all the properties of your mount. This tutorial explains the use of these commands: indilib.org/develop/developer-manual/104-scripting.html

2.
If you mean the option "Snap port 1 [OFF] [ON]", it should be set to off. The options on/off refers to if the port should trigger a shutter release or not. If set to on it opens your shutter and closes it if set to off. The python script will adjust this setting to trigger a capture on your dslr.

I hope this information will help you solve the problem. If not, could you send me a screenshot of the python script output, your EQMod settings and dslr driver settings?

Kind regards and clear skies,
Aaron
