How to set up 2x robofocus motors was created by colin rooney

Hi. Been using stellarmate os fo a few months now. Had some teething problems but in the end they were memory card related. Faulty memory card.
My problem now is getting two instances of robo focus operating together one for focus the other for the TAKometer.
On the remote PI with stellarmate i can only select robofocus once.
Can someone please direct me to a solution .. Thanks

Go to Tools --> Devices --> Custom Driver and create an alias for the 2nd robofocuser.



Restart KStars. Next edit your profile, go to to Aux drivers and select "TAKometer" (that's what I labeled it).



Now you should have two focusers.

HOWEVER, you can only auto-focus one at a time.
