Hi all,

I am trying to write a simple shell script that moves the telescope simulator in RA
Connect
Set SLEW_SPEED
Read RA1
Set WE motion West On
While Current RA > to (RA1 -0.5) wait
Set WE motion Off

What I see is even though scope is 'moving' as seen by watching RA in Skychart, my loop never sees RA change
If I do a motion in SKychart, my script sees the RA change then completes

Thoughts?
Script:
=============================
#!/bin/bash
echo `date -Ins`
indi_setprop "Telescope Simulator.CONNECTION.CONNECT=On"

indi_setprop "Telescope Simulator.TELESCOPE_SLEW_RATE.3x=On"

RA=`indi_getprop -1 "Telescope Simulator.TARGET_EOD_COORD.RA"`
RAT=`echo "$RA - 0.5" | bc -l`
echo RA=$RA RAT=$RAT

indi_setprop "Telescope Simulator.TELESCOPE_MOTION_WE.MOTION_WEST=On"

while [ $(echo "$RAT < $RA" | bc) -ne 0 ]
do
RA=`indi_getprop -1 -t 1 "Telescope Simulator.TARGET_EOD_COORD.RA"`
echo RA=$RA RAT=$RAT
sleep 2
done

indi_setprop "Telescope Simulator.TELESCOPE_MOTION_WE.MOTION_WEST=Off"

echo `date -Ins`

RA=`indi_getprop -1 -t 1 "Telescope Simulator.TARGET_EOD_COORD.RA"`
echo RA=$RA RAT=$RAT

indi_setprop "Telescope Simulator.CONNECTION.CONNECT=Off"
=====================================================

This is the output

Sorry, never mind, using wrong prop on my end, needed EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD
