That perfectly explains what I am seeing, i.e. that the SmartEQPro+ works just fine with the CEM60 driver, except for the minor hiccups I have described.
My firmware is 170516, though.
Jasem, when you update the drivers, I assume I will have to update the firmware as well at that point for the mount to continue to work in Ekos, right?
Or will the current CEM60 driver remain available for the SmartEQPro+?
I'm writing a new driver for firmware version 20170101 or higher, including CEM120. So update your firmware to this or later and use the new driver once released.
Also, I really need the documentation part.
There is now user documentation for IOptron but it is just stubs, it really need to be on the level of EQMod documentation. This is iOptron pages: indilib.org/devices/telescopes/ioptron.html
Who ever can edit those let me know and I'll grant you edit privileges. Please follow the same documentation template as EQMod.
Sorry, Jasem, I am not exactly certain what you want us/me to do. Provide screenshots for the iOptron SmartEQPro+ (that's the iOptron mount I have) when using the CEM60 driver and edit the EQMod page on indilib accordingly?
I would be happy to do this, but it will probably have to be next weekend.
CS, Jo
Wow that was fast! I just wish I had a CEM120 to test with
I noticed in the docs it says.....
'The mount must be aligned first before establishing connection with INDI.'
Is this just for the first time the mount is used with INDI? Or does it need human intervention every time the mount is powered on? I'm asking because I'm considering getting a CEM120 and the observatory is remote (I'm not there to perform the initial alignment).
Thanks,
Derek
