That's great! Thanks for the heads-up on the new 1.3 firmware - I also installed it last night and thankfully it looks like the changes are fairly safe:

Last version 1.3 22/10/2020
1) Added Virtual HandPad compatibility with more WiFi devices
2) Added "Reverse motor" feature
3) Bugs fixed
4) Removed maxstep limit in ASCOM drivers


Also, thanks for dumping the serial output. I reformatted the JSON below as it shows some interesting state (voltage in, LED dimming, hold status etc) that might be nice to expose via the INDI driver:

The approach of using a preset is probably the simplest for getting things up and running. However, it would still be great to be able to control the presets and motor hold state via INDI rather than having to go via the Virtual Handset or Focus Manager.

I'm hoping to get some time next week to see if I can start hacking the driver support - unfortunately this week didn't allow me much time.
