It works, thanks, but for some reason speed settings stopped working.
I cannot spot anything wrong with the code, maybe you can discover why it stopped working?
When you change the speed slider on SS screen nothing happens in INDI panel
(previously it nicely changed between four speeds).

Just tested and it works fine, can you double check again?

It works on simulator. It is not working with NSE - but this is my problem ;)

Skysafari can represent the FOV on the screen. Using the rotational angle in the plate solve the FOV can be rotated to match. I will check some code to see what I can offer on this. I was looking into this awhile ago. I will post if I find something this weekend.

Thank you :)

Found the problem. NSE was using different name for the slewing mode switch (SLEWMODE same as eqmod and few others) while telescope_simulator and the template telescope driver as well as your middleware is using TELESCOPE_SLEW_RATE. I have switched the code and it works. Expect PR soon.
It may be a slight problem with OSX version since I remember that there was some issue around it. But I believe this version is better.

First of all, many thanks to Jasem and to all the crew for the fantastic work on Indi.
I tried indi_skysafari both on MacOS Sierra and on the latest Ubuntu virtual machine, however I never got it to work. While the log says that "SkySafari Server is running. Connect the App now to this machine using SkySafari LX200 driver.", the status light in Indi Control Panel is RED. If I check open TCP ports, I find that indi_skysafari is running on the right port (9624) and a 'ps aux' confirms that the process is actually running. However, if I try to disconnect and connect again I get a "bind: Address already in use". To me this seems to indicate that the indi_skysafari process does not communicate at all with SkySafari and with indiserver; it doesn't respond to the disconnect request, hence the bind error when trying to launch a new instance.

All tests have been performed with simulators only, to avoid any cross-compatibility issue with other drivers. Indi SkySafari is set to Telescope Simulator with default ports. One thing I noticed is that using the Save configuration button in Options does not have effect (the next time the driver is loaded it reverts to default configuration - for instance, debug is always disabled, just like configuration was not saved at all).

For SkySafari I used the recommended configuration with Maede LX 200 Classic / Equatorial Goto mount type, localhost address (for MacOs - the virtual machine address for the test under Ubuntu) and default port (9624). SkySafari confirms that it can connect to the server on selected port, but it finds the scope to be unresponsive.

I'm attaching the screenshot of SkySafari error, the screenshot of Indi Control Panel and the logs (Ubuntu virtual machine). As far as I understand, however, there's nothing useful in the logs.

Could you please suggest how to proceed? Thanks in advance.

in this page : indilib.org/devices/telescopes/skysafari.html I see : select "LX200 GPS" in Skysafari.
Maybe you can solve your problem?

Nice observation dragon lost. Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the problem. In a way, indi_skysafari is hearing, but it is not listening at all.

SkySafari 5 Plus Works great from a Samsung Tablet over dedicated Wifi with the driver running on a primary RPi3 thats in chain to the Ekos client via Ethernet to a KDE Neon laptop.
