INDI Library v2.0.7 is Released (01 Apr 2024)

Bi-monthly release with minor bug fixes and improvements

I would like support of Digital Setting Circles.

I removed ticks scale and offsets from the driver since they seem to be causing confusion. Maybe next driver will be more clear.

Hello,
Well DSC looks to works fine. I think I will be able to make a real test next week if the clouds let me do it.
After having done syncs on several stars a thing that would be nice to have is a big countdown counter that display the distance in azimuth and altitude to go from a current position to a chosen target. It might be activated by something like, for a goto telescope, a goto action in the drop down floating menu on the star map.

I confirmed the operation in the room.
It seems to be moving accurately.
I will see the stars on a sunny day and check.

It was sunny at last, I tried it.
I picked a star and tried Sync, but the position of the pointer was not changed.
As alignment items have increased, it may not be set correctly.
I will change the setting again and try it.

I need a brief explanation of the alignment tab settings.

I am looking forward.
Synchronization with stars can not be done yet,
The encoder also worked on wireless LAN.

Can a DSC be used in case of power loss, so that the system knows exactly how is the mount pointing?

Aren't DSC also relative encoders? So if power is lost and resumed, their values are reset too.

ok, but I was under the impression that for example in high end mounts, you could disconnect the power, turn the mount RA/DEC around, reconnect and the system would know exactly where it is. Am I missing something or what I'm talking about is not DSC.

I am grateful that you have always helped me.

I tried both the DSC driver and the SkyWatcher API driver.

I have heard that both drivers are correcting the alignment tab items now, but there are definitely two items missing at present.

Please reflect it at the time of correction.

1. Setting the home position
There is no initial value setting as the origin of the direction of the telescope.
If you do not set this item you will not be able to determine the starting point of the encoder, so it will not be possible to introduce it accurately.

2. Mount selection
It is necessary to select either ALTAZ or Equatorial Mount and a calculation formula for that mount.

At present it shows the behavior as calculated by equatorial mount.

Please consider it when correcting the driver.
