Hey Peter,

Is it doable to run this software on a different port on the PI and run INDI on the default INDI port and use them at teh same time? Not that I would be using the camera at the same time or any of that, but I would want the flexibility to be able to capture images with something like PEMPro, without having to disconnect INDIGO and reconnect INDI.

Sure, you can run multiple INDI or INDIGO servers side by side, use -p port to specify port number.

But in this particular case it is not actually necessary, INDIGO server on the same port handles legacy INDI protocol and also XML and JSON INDIGO protocols (and also HTTP of web based control panel).

You need native INDI server only in case you want to use "snoop" between INDI drivers.

Oh! So i could load INDIGO, have my ASCOM drivers connecting, and connect KStars at the same time, on one port?

Yes, that's the intention. And you can also connect with web browser and manage the server or setup drivers. Peter

Okay, last thing - how do I load other drivers that arent included with INDIGO? For example, I need to load Lx200 AP and Moonlite Focus.

Add -i indi_driver_name to indigo_server arguments. Try indigo_server --help for other options. Peter

Yes, that's correct. INDIGO driver is dynamic library executed directly within INDIGO server, while INDI driver is for INDIGO server remote server (just using pipes instead of network). Peter

Can you point me at the code and documentation? I wouldn't mind having a crack at an ASCOM telescope (i.e. mount) driver
