I should note, one issue I know about is that sometimes the dotted lines on the alignment graph do not look nice or even vanish entirely. This is very strange and may be an issue with QCustomPlot rather than with KStars. The lines on the plot always look perfectly fine, its just the points in the dotted lines. They are generated the same way too, that is what I don't understand. If anybody knows why it does this please let me know.
Never mind about this, I think I just found the solution. It is due to a known bug in QCustomPlot. According to this forum it can be solved with setScatterSkip(0); I tried it and I think the odd behavior may have stopped. I will send this patch to Jasem.
I think we should get the dotted lines patch I just sent in there and we should get the driver loading issue that Sean pointed out fixed before we officially post this dmg. Please let me know if there are any other issues.
I mentioned the previous wishlist, but FCUSB does not appear on the Ekos driver setting screen. Even if you install sudo apt-get install indi-full or sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding, FCUSB is not installed in UBUNTU, so it needs to be installed separately from CloudMaker.
It is installed on OSD's CloudMakers INDI server, but it is not displayed in Kstars, Ekos.
I hope to be able to select FCUSB on Ekos driver setting screen.
I am confused by your post. You mention sudo apt-get install, which is an Ubuntu installation method, then you mention cloud makers OS X INDI server. Are you using OS X or are you using Ubuntu? Are you hosting an INDI server on one OS and then trying to access it with a client on another? I am just not sure which you mean. My best guess from what you said is that you are running an indi server on a Mac and are trying to connect to it from an Ubuntu system?
Regardless, if your goal is to connect KStars/Ekos to a remote INDI server that is currently hosting an FCUSB device, you just need to have the XML file for for the FCUSB driver (Called indi_shoestring.xml) on the client machine. You don't actually have to have the driver fully installed on the client machine. The XML file needs to be placed in the INDI Drivers Directory. Where that directory is depends on what operating system you are using to run KStars.
Actually, one thing that I would like to do is get more xml files into the OS X app. I know the SBIG xml file needs to get in there. I use my SBIG with KStars all the time, hosted using a remote indiserver from my Raspberry Pi. Right now I have to copy and paste the XML file in there. It should be copied in automatically. So yes, if there are any other XML files that need to get in there, please let me know. I will work on getting more XML files into the App.
Yes, it's because the cloud makers driver is built into their indi server app. I believe that is a driver we cannot bundle into kstars because it is their own proprietary driver, but as I said before, we can include an xml file in kstars and you could connect to the indiserver on the pi or to the cloudmakers indiserver if you want to run the fcusb on your mac. You can copy the xml file in there yourself, or I should be able to get it in there by next week sometime.
