I would like to know this as well. I’m considering a flat panel but want to make sure it’s compatible with INDI. Everything I’ve read only mentions ASCOM.

this is the reply I got when I asked Frank Wang (from wanderer astro) in January about indi support:

Yes of course but it needs some time.

that's all :dry:

Well that sounds like a “yes but no” response from Wanderer.

Indi has support only Wanderer Lite rotator, but not Mini v2
I wrote to Frank Wang about adding support of Mini v2 rotator to indi.
His answer looks like:
"This INDI driver is not valid for rotator MINI V2.
Our new INDI driver for rotators will be available soon." (c)

I received my Mini V2 rotator yesterday and I confirm the existing driver is not particularly usable.
A few details:
- It does not connect to the device automatically. Times out, then when I manually click Connect in the INDI control panel, it actually connects.
- Although "set current position as home" works (and resets the current value to 0), the sync button says syncing is not supported.
- When rotating, the current position number changes faster than the device actually rotates. At first it made me confused as I had an impression it was rotating past the requested position.
- More often than not, after reaching the requested position, the current value jumps to seemingly random numbers.

An example of the last point: I reset home position (current is 0), moved to 45. Then started "homing" (I think this is just supposed to be "go to home position"). It moved back to the initial place, but the current position became something wild like 294 instead of 0.
When I told it to go again to 45, it started moving backwards.

I know it was already stated above, but yes, the current "Lite" driver is not usable for the Mini V2 device.

Absolutely the same behaviour for me. I suggest you also to write email to Frank Wang and ask him about writing driver for Mini V2 for libindi or opening specification to do this by community.

Here's what he kindly responded:
The INDIGO driver for WandererRotator will be released soon, the INDI driver is also in progress. I believe they will be ready in less than 2 months.
