Thanks a lot for testing. I will field test it tonight, looks like sky is clear tonight.

As of now I know these are pending items to be fixed.

Goto - (current one works correctly for AZ mode I guess, not for EQ mode)
Switch for AZ/EQ. mode . By default I have now loaded into EQ mode.
Tracking under AZ mode.
Sync -
Park -

- Tarun

I got a response from SkyWatcher:
So this means:
1. To use Option #1 above, you can use INDI EQMod driver.
2. To use Option #2 above, you can use INDI Synscan driver.
3. This is not supported in INDI.

Now the SkyWatcher document provided looks almost identical to Celestron, I guess they're both based on the same controller. So maybe the existing Celestron driver can be adapted for "Syncscan Next" driver or something like that.

I presume you know about these 2 documents - ignore if you do but the diagram in one of the PDF is an excellent summary of how things hang together and just needs modifying ,IMO, to add the Indilib driver and perhaps add to the main Indi documentation.

fails with eqmod,i guess timeouts.

Goooooooooooooood new everyone!



I got EQMod to work with AZ-GTi mount. Best of all? You don't even have to use the pesky SkyWatcher App on your phone, you can connect directly to the mount! I'll add more documentation soon but basically, select "Ethernet" in connection from EQMod. IP Address: 192.168.4.1 Port: 11880 and type: UDP

Before you connect make sure your PC/StellarMate is connected to the mount hotspot and that the mount is in the "home" position. Then connect. Now by default it points toward polaris but for AZ GTi I think the home position points to Zenith?

The fix just landed in GIT, so hopefully INDI Nightly later today will get it as well.

wohoo! Thanks much Jasem. Been busy at work, I'll try to test it tonight

Excellent! Looking forward to try it out

Does it have ALTAZ mount, encoder support?

It _appears_ to be working in GOTOs and such. But I'm waiting for feedback on "home position" since EQMod default to equatorial home position and it probably needs to be different for AZ-GTi

is this available in the nightly build yet? I could not get it to work with last nightly build nor from git

Got it working! Compiled from git. You need to also compile and install 3rdparty.

Did not have time for an extensive test - only slewing around in my living room.

Weather forcast is cloudy for the next 10 days...

Just found out that INDI Nightly was failing for a while now, so I just fixed the error and restarted all the builds again.
