Can you double-check your serial settings? My AVX is connected like this:

Port: ttyUSB0
Baud: 9600
Type: USB/HC

Why not use the alignment module in Ekos? Set the solver action to sync, then hit capture and solve. That should update the mount from wherever it thought it was pointing to where it actually is, based on what the camera sees.

I'd like to say that I'm not super fond of embedded iframes. I have something similar on my octopi which embeds the webui from an esp32/ov2640; it works when viewed in a web browser, but it does not make the controls visible over the API. Having actual properties accessible over some interface (mqtt, a statistics endpoint, whatever) would be be much more useful

So I see from stellarmate.com/support/ekos/capture.html that Kstars 3.6.3 now has placeholders/tokens that can be interpolated to construct filenames. Lovely!

Unfortunately, I didn't see anywhere to set the default filename format (yes, I checked the Options button in the capture module and every other module and the general Kstars preferences) because I don't want to have to remember to add "_%e_%D" to my filename pattern every time I create a new sequence.

What am I missing?

Getting this party started, this is an AVX that has just been power cycled.

TLDR: What are AVX or other Celestron users doing to have a fully remote control telescope?

My connections are pretty typical:
* ASI290 to ASI533 via usb2
* ASI533 to stellarmate (raspberry pi w/ kstars) via USB3
* GPS to stellarmate via usb2
* Mount to stellarmate via usb2 on the hand controller.

When powering up the AVX, the hand controller asks me to begin alignment and INDI says "Mount is NOT aligned. You must align the mount first before you can use it. Disconnect, align the mount, and reconnect again." I see this has been discussed before (eg. thread 7233 ). What I'd like to do though is power everything up with my remote control power switch, wait a couple of minutes for my stellarmate to boot, then use kstars/indi to perform the alignment.

I didn't see anything about this in the AVX manual ; what am I missing?

I happened across hackerboards.com/ recently. ... which reminded me of this thread, and reminded me that I was going to do something with a Radxa Zero.

It would probably work - my stellarmate is running v1.7.4 on a bullseye base.

That said, you might want to just download 1.7.4 and do a clean install.

I see nothing in github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/ma...aux/celestronaux.cpp that suggests there is a settable property. I also don't see it on indilib.org/telescopes/celestron/celestron-aux-driver.html
