Hello.
I'm planing on buying a new guidecamera and now that Starlight Xpress has released the Lodestar x2 I was wondering if it is supported by indi?
Since the regular lodestar is supported I guess support for x2 is either working already or requires just a minor update to the driver but I wanted to make sure.

Regards
Daniel

I just looked at it, and boy am I glad they're using RJ12 now! At any rate, I think you can still use the same driver as is.

Hi Daniel, I'm quite sure that the same driver will work for any SX camera, the only change I can imagine is to add new PID to the table. Peter

Ok, thank you for the answers. I figured it wouldn't be any problems. Just need to save up some $$ then :)

Hi, I have problem using my SX CCD SXVR-H16 and the Guide Head. I was able to get pics from one device at time. If I use the Guide head for the GUIDE than I cant use the SX CCD SXVR-H16 for imaging and viceversa. There is a problem of support for these devices?? I am using latest ekos and indi releases on Raspberry with Raspbian.
Also I have problem to connect to my FLI CFW2-8 filter wheel
Here the infos about the hardware:

Hi Daniel,
I am owning an X2, it works flawlessly with the SX driver. So don’t hesitate, it works great with EKOS/INDI.

Hi guys!
And what about the Lodestar Pro Mono? Is it supported in Ekos?
This is a link to the product:
www.sxccd.com/product/lodestar-pro-mono/

I just ordered one some days ago and I am looking forward to try it in Ekos.
