Unfortunatelly it doesn't work.

Still not able to connect. I'm on Ubuntu 15.10, the Kstar-Beeding. apt-get update and upgrade has been done.

How to be sure I've the correct indi_lyx_focus driver installed , the version display in EKOS is teh 1.0 and the content log in debug mode is :
******************************************************************************
2015-04-28T19:33:23: Error retreiving data from FocusLynx, please ensure FocusLynx controller is powered and the port is correct.
2015-04-28T19:33:23: TTY error: Timeout error
2015-04-28T19:33:22: CMD (<F1HELLO>)
2015-04-28T19:28:50: Session log file /tmp/indi_lynx_focus_2015-04-28T19:23:43.log
2015-04-28T19:33:18: Focuser model set. Please connect now...
******************************************************************************

From serial terminal I can get anser form <F1HELLO> Command, that means no right access issue to the port ttyUSB1

There was a problem handling the response, please try again with tomorrow's PPA update (or compile now if you want to try today).

Today update package, but nothing has changed. No connection to the focuser.
Please have look attached document.

In the meantime from your last proposal to compile the driver, where could I donwloaded to do that?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Kind regards


As the message between driver and focuser via the ttyUSB device is in plain text (as "<F1HELLO>") I would like to precise that my configuration is localized for Switzerland, with Swiss-French Keyboard, in case the functions used for communication could be influenced by these parameters.

Dear Jasem.
It's not install yet, but I can do it this evening. My local time is GMT + 2, one hour less than you, that means It coudn't be done before 9O'clock, for your local time.
Other possibilities, is that I take with me tomorrow my PC and the fosuser controler (Without motor, but connection could be done without it, already tryed via terminal) on my job and you can connect when you want during the day.

Let me know which one is the must confortable for you.

Philippe
