The telescope connect panel shows the initial driver messages, then says 'server disconnected' and a few seconds later asks 'Is driver SynScan running'. Same if I start an indi server with a pipe, then start the driver thru a pipe. If I start my indi server from the command line, with synscan driver and a couple others, when trying to connect from skychart to the synscan mount, it starts to connect, then closes the connection to indiserver.
One of the issues I ran into today, which has me a bit befuddled, regarding the synscan driver for a skywatcher mount using the handset.
#Connecting eqmod to skychart drivers#
I am working with telescope drivers in development phases, and testing with a few different apps.
I have a question regarding skychart, and indistarter. But this is probably not your issue because the clients give an explicit error in this case. If this still not work look at the port the server is listening. In the last version eqmodgui-0.1.0-7 I add an option in the Setup to set this device name, so you can change the value to "EQMod" for better compatibility. The device name can be changed to allow you to load two time the same driver for two different telescope for example.įor eqmod the default device name is "EQMod Mount", if you start the server from the command line with "indiserver indi_eqmod_telescope", this is what eqmodgui expect by default.īut the device name is "EQMod" if the server is started by Kstars, INDIstarter or another application that read the driver.xml file. The parameter that can make a client unable to find the driver is the device name. (The next version of Skychart will use INDIstarter for better compatibility) Kstars and Skychart for example have different default options. The reason you cannot connect from some client is probably because you not always start the server on the same way. There is also one in Eqmodgui if you press the "INDI setting" button. I suppose you meant the standard INDI GUI presentation as present in client like Kstars, DCD or other. OK, but there is no GUI delivered with the Indi Eqmod telescope driver, INDI is very clean about the separation between the base process (server, driver) and the clients.įor INDI Eqmodgui is a client, just like Kstars or Skychart, except it is specialized to manage the basic Eqmod operation.
