Sesto Senso 2 connect issue

Hi,

I didn't install it for the moment, cause I'm waiting the focuser...delayed due the situation.
Maybe Piotr (who made the driver) could help you !
Maybe there are commands to update indi-core and indi drivers directly without building it from git...

Stay safe and clear skies

Thanks OuiOui!

If it’s any help First Light Optics have them in stock and got mine to me in 2 days via DHL. I paid £6 for UK shipping which is their base charge.

Cheers

Firstly, thanks to Iain for providing some valuable clues with the Sesto Senso 2 driver configuration. I was testing on a Pi 3 with an Astroberry install and the latest build of KStars & INDI.

After a lot of hours I've finally got the Sesto Senso 2 connecting reliably and setup a persistent serial port mapping. This is what I found:

1. gpsd was determined to own the Sesto Senso 2 /dev/ttyUSB# device. I initially tried to prevent gpsd from intercepting the port by editing /lib/udev/rules.d/60-gpsd.rules but the attempt was unsuccessful. In the end I just disabled gpsd by editing /etc/default/gpsd (as per Iain's suggestion). I'm sure there's a better solution but for now it works for my needs.

2. I wanted to map the Sesto Senso 2 /dev/ttyUSB# device to /dev/sestosenso2 but INDI would fail to connect when I tried:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ea60", ATTRS{serial}=="insert_your_serial_here", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="sestosenso2"

It turns out /dev/sestosenso2 would end up pointing at a /dev/gpiochip# rather than the desired /dev/ttyUSB#...

After a lot of different approaches I discovered I could get it to point at the correct Sesto Senso 2 /dev/ttyUSB# using:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="10c4", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ea60", ATTRS{serial}=="insert_your_serial_here", MODE="0666", SYMLINK+="sestosenso2"

Hopefully that helps someone else out there!

Cheers,
Will.

Glad to be of service! I haven’t tried naming my port connections but it’s on my list so that will definitely be helpful. For the moment I am still having to ‘dmesg | grep ttyUSB’ after every reboot!

Cheers

I just found this information thanks for sharing , I am also having issues getting my Sesto Senso 2 working with either my Stellarmate or my Mac my mac is on the latest 10.15.5 though

The driver installed successfully but the focuser is still not connecting in kstars.

Every time I try to connect, kstars crash with my previous reported log, so I'm unable to use the sesto senso 2 focuser with kstars. Anyone else with this issue?

If KStars is crashing in Linux, then please install ekosdebugger and post the logs from it.

I have most of it working except the RPI3 with Stellarmate , I tried the following which someone posted here earlier,

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libindi1 indi-bin
ls -latr /usr/bin/indi_sestosenso2_focus
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 42504 Mar 7 16:00 /usr/bin/indi_sestosenso2_focus

Shows it is there but doesn't connect

I tried my Ascom IntelNUC worked first go so the Seno 2 was ok.

Tried my RPI4 Stellarmate and it already had the Senso 2 driver I thought the 3 and 4 had the same version ?

Could connect using ccdciel but not Kstars on my Mac, until I renamed the device from Sesto Senso to Sesto Senso 2 in the EKOS profile editor.

Now it works with Kstars . Now if Kstars only didn't crash while capturing images, I use Ccdciel instead for capture.

Now to figure out the RPI3 issue.

Hope this is of some help

for others with this issue, I solved it on OSX thanks to this page: www.silabs.com/community/interface/forum...0x_usb_to_uartb-LJMf

<<
As discussed in the following thread, it appears the v5.x SiLabs driver is completely broken.
Fortunately the v4.x driver, which is included in the "Legacy MacVCP Driver" folder in the same download, works fine. Do note that you might have to install it twice for it to work, as the first install will just remove the existing driver. If it's installed, there should be a "SiLabsUSBDriver.kext" file in /Library/Extensions with a date created of June 16, 2017.
