Hi,

(I'm just getting into into INDI/EKOS/KStars so please excuse my ignorance)

I'd be very interested in controlling/synchronizing the MGen's dithering (random displacement between exposures) feature with image capture in EKOS.
From reading this thread it looks like your work on MGen has been focussed on remote control and dithering is somewhat lower on your todo list.
I'm an experienced developer (but no INDI experience so far) and I'd be happy to help with the hooking up the dithering...
It seems to me MGen dithering would be integrated into EKOS in a way that is similar to the existing PHD2 integration where commands get sent to a PHD2 server process ( I guess the protocol is github.com/OpenPHDGuiding/phd2/wiki/SocketServerInterface ).
If that's the way to go, I could implement a server that understands that protocol and sends the command to the MGen based on the existing work for talking to MGen that you guys have already done...
If work on getting dithering synced is already underway, let me know if I can help...

Cheers,
Lars
