I just tried to see if the hold current settings would persist if set via the Wifi Virtual Handpad (and also via the Windows ASCOM driver) but it seems that they don't. Or at least, as soon as I connect the INDI driver it seems to reset the hold current resulting in focus slippage - especially towards the zenith.

The hold current setting definitely need to be exposed via INDI as without it focus is going to be highly unreliable with heavier setups. If I get a chance I might take a look at implementing it in the driver myself but that depends on knowing what commands are required... Anyone? :)

Congratulations on the new telescope! The 12VDC socket on the Sesto Senso 2 is 5.5 x 2.5mm barrel socket rather than the more standard 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel socket. I ended up making my own DC cable to run from my Pocket Power Box to the the Sesto Senso 2 which works fine. Alternatively (if you already have 5.5 x 2.1mm cables), you could perhaps get an adapter like this .

If you have any other questions, feel free to drop me a line!
