Hi,

has anybody run succesfully EQMOD on RPI4 - Ubuntu 20.04 64bit?

Running my AZEQ5 on the RPI4/64bit competely went to all wrong directions. Slew to the Moon in Western Sky ended up near the meridian. But showing on the Moons position in Kstars 3.5.0
So it was way of. The behaviour was consistenr. (Time and location were set correctly) On the same RPI4 running Astroberry or an Ubuntu 20.04 32bit all mount slews are correct.

(indi dowloaded from stable repo) So I suppose this is something incorrect in the 64bit version. If it helps, log file attached.

Only on a Pi 3 running openSUSE Tumbleweed (64bit). There it works without issues.

Thanks. Then I will need to investigate this further. Created a 32 bit Ubuntu with exact the same configuration files, so I can compare if there are differences.

Stupid me ....

tested with 32bit with same config files .... same error.
Some checks between a working Astroberry and this one showed a large RA offset started from a parked mount. So parking position was seeing the mount in a different position than it really was. Resetting correct parking position solved everything ...
