Hi,

My ETX-80 using LX200 autostar has been aligned using two stars already. Then, I turned on the kstars but the "goto" is wrong... even to the moon. How can I pass the alignment from LX200 to the Kstars?
If not, what is the proper way to do the alignment using kstars? Still searching for the tutorial...
Thx

Hi,

I found a work around solution.
As soon as I unplug and plug in the LX200 Autostar USB before I click play button, I can control the telescope using Kstars.
Cheers,

AFter rebooting just the pi, error again. I cannot control the telescope using Kstars.... :<

hi, after reboot I tried
astroberry@astroberry:~ $ sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600

And it shows blank screen...

But my window PC can communicate with the LX200 Autostar...
And my raspberry pi worked with the the telescope last week....
I am tired.... :<

Hi,I can get the data from LX200 AutoStar from my PC, so, the cable should be ok. It is probably the problem of the driver...

Read More...

Serial Cable is just simple hardware, will it be the problem of the driver itself? Is there a simple way to check the serial communication or monitoring?
May I know if there is any updated driver for the LX200 autostar?

Thx

This morning, same problem... Even after several reboot.
It is generic cable. It seems like a myth about the cable... 9600 is standard right?

Hi,

I am using pi4, I just started this month so I assume everything is latest.
And I rebuilt from the source, github.com/indilib/indi
The modified code is in the source right?
Anyway, it seems better now.
I restart the pi4 several times and sometimes, it works. I can control the telescope using Kstars.
Thanks for your suggestion. Cheers

Hi,

May I know where to add " added mutex's around the communications"" inside the Kstars?
Thx
