Beginner's troubles with Ekos under Windows

Hi,

I am trying to run my setup (EQ6 using EQMOD, QHY5L-II, Canon DSLR) with Ekos (I am running WIndows7). Everything connects more or less ok (still having issues with the QHY camera...), but I can't figure out how to specify the focal length of my telescope, therefore guiding can't calibrate. I have tried to add the info using the Profile Editor of Kstars and selecting the primary and guide telescope I have added or using it through a POTH Hub and specifying the focal length, and even by trying a simulator telescope with the "can optics" option enabled (and configured!) but still Ekos can't read the focal length in the guiding tab, even if I can see it correctly listed under the "mount" tab... am I dong anything wrong?!

Thanks a lot!

Nico

The equipment is connected to Raspberry PI or where exactly?

All devices are connected to my laptop, where I installed ASCOM and wINDI.

The wINDI bridge does not implement all INDI driver functions so you should expect some issues. However, I am working on a workaround and it should hopefully be available for download tomorrow. I recommend you either install INDI on Raspberry PI, or if you want something ready, you can get StellarMate
