Ekos, a Mac mini and a Pegasus PPB walk into a bar...

Hello. I really hope someone can help me. I'm using Ekos on a Mac mini with macOS 10.15.5. I've got a Pegasus Pocket Powerbox plugged directly into the mini, there's no hub involved, but I cannot get it to connect in Ekos. I've confirmed in the macOS system report that the Pegasus PPB is connected. In the Ekos profile manager I have Aux 1 set as the Pegasus PPB. When I hit connect Ekos try to connect to it via auto searching all available system ports. I've also gone in and manually tried to connect to each available system port using each available baud rate, but without success. Please help! Me and Bonnie really need a hero!

Who's Bonnie?

Are you Clyde?

I am not using the PPB, but I am sure someone will be able to help you here.

Hello there,
The Pegasus PPB connect to my Mac , just tried.

Under Indi Control Panel, what does it show you for System Ports? - For example mine shows /dev/cu.Bluetooth......,/dev/cu.usbseria-004014 and /dev/cu.usbserial-PPB3Gxxx

For my PPB, it connect using /dev/cu.usbserial-004014, 9600 baud. Not the PPB one.
Make sure you Refresh - ScanPorts, and turn off Auto Search until you get a connection. You may have to shut down Kstars and restart for every attempt. When it connects, save settings. Auto-connect will then work if selected with that profile.

Let us know how it goes..

Worked! Second one I chose. I had to close KStars completely out and restart it with that specific port set. Thanks for the help! And, Bonnie Tyler is looking for you.
