Yes, no problem for the mail did what you asked, but without success, still the same problem.

As far as I can say all features do work, but I'm using driver only for remote manual focus, I don't have autofocus capable client :-) Peter

Peter, I installed this driver from download.cloudmakers.eu/usbfocus-0.1-amd64.deb on Ubuntu 14.10 (latest updates, "mutlaqja" repositories active) and tried to get it to work.
It seems like /usr/bin/indi_usbfocus_focuser links against libindidriver.so.0, which is no longer available and was substituted by libindidriver.so.1
Could you please provide an upgraded package?
Symlinking libindidriver.so.0 to libindidriver.so.1 allows indi_usbfocus_focuser to start, I can connect kstars to it and and the main control tab shows correct options, but the numbers are way of, e.g. "focus speed" 32767 and a very huge positive number (601612816) for temperature compensation steps/°C.
Trying to set options to sane values stalls the interface.
I guess this is mainly a problem of the wrong libindidriver version.

Hi, I rebuilt the driver against INDI 1.0.0, you can download it from

download.cloudmakers.eu/usbfocus-0.2-amd64.deb
download.cloudmakers.eu/usbfocus-0.2-amd64.rpm
download.cloudmakers.eu/usbfocus-0.2-i386.deb
download.cloudmakers.eu/usbfocus-0.2-i386.rpm

It should fix the problem with libindidriver.so.1, but not with temperature compensation value. I still don't know how to read these values from the focuser and had to wrote to the vendor. Thank you for wake me up :-)

Thank you, Peter!

Starting and connecting to indi_usbfocus_focuser now works easily.
The values are still off, as you predicted.
I cannot test it in EKOS at the moment, as it always crashes when started, but that looks like a problem in kstars-bleeding.
I tried to interact with the driver using indi_getprop/setprop and think I was able to connect after setting up /dev/ttyACM0 as device, but I was not able to figure out how to initialise a movement of the focuser.
Could someone please point out how to do that?

Hi Thorsten, look here:

indilib.org/develop/developer-manual/101...ies.html#h7-focusers

Set REL_FOCUS_POSITION and than FOCUS_MOTION properties.
