Ok, thanks a lot.

The ASCOM EQMOD simulator works great using its native ASCOM drivers, so I guess the problem is with the wINDI server.
I will wait for (hopefully!) some more functional INDI server for windows: I really like INDI and kstars, and I would love to have a monolithic application for running all my imaging gear, but I am not really willing to add a second layer of complexity by having another computer running INDI natively and then connecting to this computer using my laptop.

Hi,

I am trying to run kstar and ekos on my windows machine: for the moment, I am only running simulated devices. Everything seems ok, except for the mount: I can connect to the EQMOD simulator, but I don't get a "mount" tab in ekos, and the plate solving tab is greyed out and disabled. However, using the INDI scope simulator, everything works ok!
Any idea about what is going on? I am running Kstars 2.9.4 and wINDI on a Windows7 machine

Wow, that would be great: looking forward to testing it once it is ready!

All devices are connected to my laptop, where I installed ASCOM and wINDI.

Hi,

I am trying to run my setup (EQ6 using EQMOD, QHY5L-II, Canon DSLR) with Ekos (I am running WIndows7). Everything connects more or less ok (still having issues with the QHY camera...), but I can't figure out how to specify the focal length of my telescope, therefore guiding can't calibrate. I have tried to add the info using the Profile Editor of Kstars and selecting the primary and guide telescope I have added or using it through a POTH Hub and specifying the focal length, and even by trying a simulator telescope with the "can optics" option enabled (and configured!) but still Ekos can't read the focal length in the guiding tab, even if I can see it correctly listed under the "mount" tab... am I dong anything wrong?!

Thanks a lot!

Nico
