Dear Alain, I've the Problem that I can't connect to my OnStep STM32F303 via KStars.
My System is a raspi 4 8G and I#M running Astroberry with KStars 3.5.4 and the last indi driver 1.9.1.

Since my last Update of Astroberry the System never worked again. My soft skills are limited.
My mount always stuck at DE=0 when I try to connect with Ekos and will not point to Polaris (Park Position).
I then have no possibility to control the mount.
In the indi tabs the indicator always become yellow and dont execute a command as it was previously the case.
The mount OnStep-Status tabs were left empty.  The firmware figures we

re shown.
I cannot start an align procedure through indi.

What I discovered is that the traffic through my /dev/ttyUSB0 sends continuously the following messages what seems to be very strange.

I have set up in my Onstep config.h file some features like a DewHeater function called "DH-OHG".
Do you think that there is a problem with the OnStep firmware and a miscommunication with the indi driver that causes the failure?
I cannot understand why Onstep is sending those figures over the USB port, also because the Heater was switched off.

Perhaps I should ask Howard or Khalid if they know what could be the Problem.

All the best and thanks to your help and work since years as I read.
