Rob created a new topic ' CGEM II Wifi does not slew to target' in the forum. 2 years ago

Hello friendly people!I hope someone can help me. I feel like this should just work... there's either something really simple blocking me, or a driver issue.I have a Celestron CGEM-II mount, with the SkyPortal WiFi accessory.For testing, I'm running on a MacBook running Kstars 3.5.8 (I also have a Raspberry Pi 4 running StellarMate OS; Kstars 3.5.8)Using the CGEM II Wifi option for the telescope (indi_celestron_aux driver).The mount is set in the home position (what would be facing Polaris if it were polar aligned).I connect the WiFi to the Celestron SkyPortal, and set Ekos to use CGEM II Wifi for telescope, and simulators for the CCD and guide scope.I make sure the scope is unparked, and select a target... any target. The scope begins to slew to the target, but completes nowhere near the selected target.The weird bits:* Kstars shows that the scope is not at at the target. It's almost as if at some point it moves the opposite direction of the target.* If I set the motion control to west, it acts as if it hits an artificial stop about 10 degrees off the home position of right ascension.* If I set the motion control to east, it will complete the motion, but it is still very off from the target* After it slews to the wrong location, if I park the scope it correctly returns to the home positionAs seen in the attached video, the mount starts parked on Polaris, with Capella selected as the target.I unpack the scope and press the "Slew telescope to focused target" button.The scope tracks down and to the right of the target... and then the tracker jumps to the left side of the target.
