Hi,
I'm trying to learn how Dome Slaving works but I failed to get it work. I use Ekos with simulators for "Dome", "Focuser", "CCD" and "Telescope". Everything woks fine but "Dome" does not follow any motion of the Telescope but stays permanently at 270° even "Slaving" is "Enabled" and the Telescope is moving.
Any idea what is going wrong?

Did you set the dome SLAVING measurement settings?



All these setting measurements need to be filed in.

I wanted to contact you because I have almost the same issue, he has.I'm currently using the following equipment:
- Telescope Scripting Gateway
- Dome Scripting Gateway
- RPi camera as a CCD.
I want the dome to be slaved to the mount, but having set the parameters you told the other man that had to be set, I get no response from the dome.
I've enabled the debug in order to see what's really happening and executing but i get the following information:
WARNING 546.830168 sec : Dome will now be synced to mount azimuth position.
DEBUG 547.710399 sec : Script status.py returned 0
DEBUG 549.980140 sec : Script status.py returned 0
DEBUG 552.289906 sec : Script status.py returned 0
So basically it says that the Dome will be synced to mount azimut position but it does not execute a goto in order to go to the mount azimut position.
Some photos of my configuration will be inserted in order to see my current configuration.
Thanks, Jorge

Also, if I change the Meridian side in Dome Slaving configuration i get the following debug message:
WARNING 556.502166 sec : Dome shall be synced by ignoring pier side as in a fork mount.
DEBUG 556.502286 sec : Active Snoop, driver: Telescope Scripting Gateway, property: GEOGRAPHIC_COORD
WARNING 556.502323 sec : Geographic coordinates are not yet defined, triggering snoop...
DEBUG 556.502597 sec : GetTargetAz failed 0

I understand that an error is appearing in order to get mount azimut position, so that, could be the problem I'm getting.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, let me know.

Thank you, Jorge
