Agreed I seem to have a more general problem. When I went to get things set up after dark using the 'new' profile the limit issue had returned along with others that ended the session.

Thanks Bill,
Made me define a new profile with the same devices. The same unwanted values showed up but now changes are retained. Don't know what it means but guess I'll go ahead and customize that profile instead of my usual one.

KStars 3.7.0
The limits settings on the Ekos mount tab do not seem to be retained across Ekos starts.
I can change the settings but they get set back to those shown the next time Ekos starts.
Purge all configuration doesn't reach it. I have been looking around for a save option and in the KStars database but can't see a way to manually edit the selections.

Hello Hy,
Thanks for the response and helpful suggestions.
The issue was in the capture tab with my Format definition field. I had used a %t target in the directory portion of the definition. Target was not used/defined in the capture tab so it worked. However the scheduler asserts the 'Polaris' target and the directory does not exist. After cleaning that up in the capture tab (for each filter) the scheduler accepted the definition.

KStars 3.7.0 Stable
I have not been a user of the scheduler and am having a time of it trying to define a simple job. The .seq file selected runs as expected using the capture module and should take about 30 minutes. When trying to reference it in the scheduler it almost always results in a message like: "Greedy Scheduler: empty plan". Attaching screen shots hoping there is something obvious that I am missing.

Comparing the log with mine, they seem to match until I get to the following.

Your log does not contain CCD_COOLER or CCD_COOLER_POWER attributes.
I don't know how to explain their absence. There is the ~/.indi ASI2600mm file you might see if anything in there looks out of place.

Sorry, trying to watch the Liverpool game while responding. I see you already posted a log.
The ramp value is disabled throughout the log. Can you set it and try again.

Bill,
It probably is not the particular model of camera, I do have the mono version. Can you post a screen shot similar to what I posted? If you post the log file perhaps something can be gleaned from that. ~/.local/share/kstars/logs/
Hopeless I know, but do make sure the 12Vsupply is working and connection is still firmly seated.

I have a 2600 so gave it a try, not similar hardware or symptoms.
Clicking the green button turned the cooler from off to on. It seemed like it wasn't working.
selected the blue tear drop and needed to provide a Ramp value - just in case.

> If i am right...My question now its... A0,A1,A2,A3 pins from arduino board, where should be connect in relays >module?
Yes that seems correct. The A0 - A3 pins are not for the relays (output), they are predefined to be input pins.
If you are just playing, any old on/off switch can be used to test the input pins. Connection outlined in previous reply.
Send a open request from the driver, that should result in the N1 relay activating. wait a bit then close the switch connected to A0. You will see the INDI driver change to the opened state.

Javier,
The arduino.cc Uno Rev 3 is the one I was thinking of.
The arduino.cc Relay shield you linked will provide the easiest installation. It uses fixed assigned pins on the Arduino Uno. Those pin numbers are used by default in the rolloff.ino.standard.
For a one button controller use relay 1, for two button use relay 1 for open and relay 2 to close. The normally open relay connector is used along with the common.
On the input side the default pins will be A0 to indicate fully opened and A1 for fully closed. You can see these definitions at the start of rolloff.ino.standard. The uno's builtin pullup resistors are used so switch opened will be pulled up to the positive value. When the switches are closed your connection will be from the pin via the switch to one of the ground pins.
Given these hardware selections you will not need to make any changes to the ino code. Rename the sketch to rolloff.ino and place it in a sub directory named rolloff. Then use the Arduino IDE to load the sketch onto the board. Then you get the USB connection from the driver working.
Could bench test when you get the controller or get the controller working safely and reliably on the roof and then introduce the uno connection.

For the small difference in price I really like the official arduino.cc products. There is a new variation of the Uno, I would use the latest version of the original standard Uno design. Same with the relay shield, arduino.cc rather than 3rd party or individual relays. Makes for a single unit to deal with and pins should match up with the ones pre-defined in the rolloff.ino.standard example. More than needed but quality and reliable. I would recommend getting the 12V supply to power the Uno not try to rely on the USB input. I'll look at the links you provided and check the rolloffi.ino.standard code tomorrow evening. Will check pin assignments and the input pins to use by default.
If you are going to build an Arduino based weather station, think in terms of a different/additional Arduino. Which model can be selected when you select the approach or product. INDI will coordinate with roof. Likely a Mega will be more than needed.

Javier,
You do not need to build the driver it can be selected in the Ekos profile editor.
In case you have not seen it: github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/ma...no/doc/rolloffino.md
You mention already having a motor. Perhaps you have a roof already working using a garage door or gate opener controller? If so then it is usually just a case of connecting into the existing controller via relay or relays. The rolloffino driver relies on an Arduino to provde that kind of control.
Parts needed when working with an existing garage or gate controller, chosen to work with an existing Arduino code example: An Arduino Uno, and a relay shield for it. Switches that get activated when the roof reaches opened or closed. Let us know what you have & we can get specific. You will need to install the V2 Arduino IDE to download the sketch.
