I'm a proud owner of an Artemis-M Pro (IMX 492 mono) and a 7x36mm filter wheel but so far I had no luck making them talk to INDI/Kstars.

Running on arch linux, I installed libindi via the arch repos, then the EQMOD for my mount via AUR (this one here ). The EQMOD carried over the installation of the whole libindi-3rdparty pkg, which includes the playerone drivers but this is where all the troubles begin since of course those didn't work.

With the help of a 'custom buil' pkgbuild by italic from CN (this file here ) I then managed to get the 'real indi-playerone' drivers built directly from the 3rdparty repos, but I'm not sure whether there's a conflict with the ones installed by eqmod at this point. I don't even know how to tell ekos to read a specific file. I of course tried with the 'custom driver' button pointing to a file in my local folders but that did't work either.

I then found out the eqmod installed a udev rule but I don't know how to check if that's being used or not. I'm also aware of this thread here but I guess the way kstars/ekos work is now different since I cannot find a way to activate the INDI control panel _before_ activating a profile so I don't know if I'm missing something easy here or I should start all over from scratch.

Filter wheel basically the same. Drivers should be there, udev rule is there, never been able to get it to connect.

I think I may use some help from you space nerd friends
