Hi all, i have started this tread as a follow on to the last few threads on the serial version of the my Focuser Pro 2 DIY project (see www.indilib.org/forum/focusers-filter-wh...html?start=144#46741). My understanding is that the serial version now works and a full Wifi version is close but needs some testing.

I am building the Wifi version based on the WEMOS ESP32 board (still waiting for parts to arrive). I have the Arduino code compiling. So hopefully ill have a working focuser soon ready.

If testing is required let me know.

Hi all , just to reignite this post, my board has arrived, i have flashed the firmware in station mode and it is working. If i can get access to the indi code to test that would be great.

regards

I will be looking forward to seeing how things turn out.

I would think you could copy the existing myFocuserPro2 files from the INDI source and use those as a start?

I have just posted firmware v112 to sourceforge and v113 to groups.io - myArduinoDIY
The latest v113 pdf is also posted at same.

Hi,
hope it is not much OT, but I got it working wireless via bluetooth. Small changes in focuserconfig.h:
uncomment BLUETOOTHMODE,
comment LOCALSERIAL,
uncomment INDI
and on the End of the file comment
//#ifdef INDI
//#ifndef LOCALSERIAL
//#halt // ERROR Cannot enable INDI without also enabling LOCALSERIAL
//#endif
//#endif
that's all
in Linux bind /dev/rfcomm0 to Bluetooth MAC and in INDI (under EKOS) selected serial , 115200, and /dev/rfcomm0 port
...and Connect :)

Yes, that I think was described in the PDF.

However, it isn't WiFi as such.

I did try to contact Jasim for some help in converting the exsisting myfocuserpro2 INDI serial based driver to use TCP/IP. I sent several messages but never got a response.

I just needed some pointers about the conversion as I am not that famaliar with INDI and the existing INDI driver was written by Alan.

Regards
Robert

Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Has there been any progress on this? I'm working on a myFP2ESP for one of my scopes, and I'd love to have the option of using it with INDI on Raspberry PI someday.

Once I get mine built and working, I'd be glad to try to help out a bit if I can.

Already done,
Jaseem did the conversion to allow TCP/IP [many thanks]
use the existing INDI driver for myFP2
Use the TCP/IP connection, enter address of controller and port 2020

However, use the latest release
github.com/brownrb/myFP2ESPFirmware/releases

and make sure you enable INDI in the Management Server of myFP2ESP
