Ekos Guider Tracking Error

I was helping a friend set up his Astroberry rig, and we got everything in place, and when we went to start guiding, it failed and we got the error listed below. His mount is a SkyWatcher Star Adventurer.

  

At first we thought it may have been trying to track in DEC, so we turned off the settings shown below (the screen grab is from my Astroberry for reference), which should be turned off for his single tracker mount anyway, right? We still got that error message.

However we started PHD2 up and it did not have any problems guiding, it worked perfectly. We tried the Ekos guider one more time and got the same error massage again.

So what would cause the Ekos guider to display that error message?
Thanks.

It's an issue with RA, not DEC so turning off DEC won't help. You have "Via" as Telescope simulator? that's not going to work. If you're using ST4 cable from camera to mount, then "Via" needs to be set as the camera that has the ST4 cable.

Well that's a screen grab from my Astroberry, I just opened up the simulator so I can do the screen grab. However I will look to see what he has it set to.

Thanks.
