Jasem,

Thanks a lot for the excellent support.
I tried out the launch of the chained indiservers on the remote machine but I get a strange behavior.
The remote machine's indiserver continues restarting. On the remote machine I connected the joystick and the EQMOD. On the primary machine in EKOS I see the joystick but not the EQMOD.

On the primary machine I have connected also the ZWO ASI 120MC and that works perfectly well with KStars.

The ones in the new tutorial with the correct device drivers.
I find the "indiserver -m 100 -vv indiserver indi_eqmod_telescope indi_joystick" as command on the secondary machine rather strange.
On the primary machine I use indiserver -m 100 -v indi_asi_ccd "EQMod Mount"@192.168.0.128 "joystick"@192.168.0.128
I would have thought to use for the remote devices *@192.168.0.128 but this seems not to work.

Seconday:
<code>
indiserver -v indi_eqmod_telescope indi_joystick
</code>

You added another indiserver there. I updated the tutorial, it was a copy/paste error.

Primary:
<code>
indiserver -m 100 -v indi_asi_ccd "EQMod Mount"@192.168.0.128 "Joystick"@192.168.0.128
</code>

The <strong>J</strong> in joystick has to be capital.

Dear Jasem,

Thanks! I will check and confirm.
Personally I find this encoding of device names rather cumbersome and honestly speaking I do not see immediately the added value for it.
If in the future this could be changed that would be an improvement but not critical once you know!
