Maybe you can try to contact him. He replied me fast last time.

Rob, Jasem, would you like me to contact Peter for this?

Oh sorry, I forgot all about this with all the other stuff I have been doing recently. I apologize. Let me give him an email. . .

Thanks,

Rob

No need to apologize Rob. I hadn’t used the Shoestring motor focuser for a long time but mounted it on my new telescope today and gave it a try. I couldn’t get the Mac version to work but I was impatient so that’s probably why. The deb amd64 version still works as I fund out tonight so for now I am a happy camper


Clear skies, Wouter

Just sent him an email. . .

Just replying to this thread so it doesn't get forgotten. While I am at it, is there any news on this?


Clear skies, Wouter

Hi Wouter,

Yes Peter did respond. He said that since Cloudmakers is moving on from INDI to INDIGO, they are leaving behind drivers they made for INDI and focusing on INDIGO stuff. So he doesn't want us to use his INDI drivers since he doesn't plan to keep supporting them. He already took the drivers off his website and the INDIServer for OS X app. As for an INDI Driver for FCUSB, that doesn't mean we won't have one, just not Peter's driver.

Thanks,

Rob

It wasn't mean or anything, from his perspective it does make sense because they can't keep supporting a driver that they have decided to move away from.

Thanks for the info Rob. What a pity that they are dropping support.

Would it help if I volunteered to maintain the driver for INDI/Ekos? As far as I can tell it would simply mean to make sure that the build process keeps up to date with the latest versions of Linux/Mac libraries and I think I should be able to do that.


Wouter

There is no known command set for FCUSB?

Not that I am aware of but then again I never investigated. I’ll do that and will get back to you.

I received the command set from Shoestring. Jasem, I will send you a PM.
