Hi,
I have successfully connected my gamepad/Joystick with indiserver, and adapted the configuration in a way it becomes intuituve in use.
By doing so I was surprised to see that the PARK and UNPARK work perfectly well with joystick buttons but not the abort function.
I tested it by setting the telescope in tracking mode. Via the INDI control panel pushing the abort button on the motion control tab stops the tracking. Going back to tracking mode and pushing the pre-defined button for aborting on the joystick does not have any effect.
Could this be corrected or is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Jasem,
I use the indi_joystick driver from the last release of the indilib and 3rd party drivers. Since it was available I upgraded to indilib 1.2.0.
Additionally to this issue I also saw that the config in the joystick tab of the EQMOD Telescope control panel does not allow to save settings for reloading/default reloading. Every time I need to go back for setting the right joysticks and buttons.
Regards,
Stefan
Jasem,
I tried to upgrade but without result. Should I wait until tonight?
About the settings, "on connection" was checked in EKOS.
I have rebooted and have the impression it is working indeed.
Many thanks,
Fantastic !!! Thank you.
Know that since today I run indiserver on an old RPi and KStars with embeded images on a RPi2.
I will now see whether there is still room for the ZWO 120MC.
The RPi2 is just not swapping.
I'll keep you posted.
Stefan
Dear Jasem,
The abort function works now with a joystick button but I get the message: "can not perform goto while goto/park in progress, or scope parked." after pointing to an object and tracking the mount again.
I saw also that if the mount start parking, the abort function does not work.
After aborting a slew to an object it is not possible to park. Only when you move the mount slightly the park works again.
Minor things but room for improvement.
In any way thanks a lot for the corrections. I run the KStars now with the ZWO ASI on an RPi2 "without powered hub" (changed the maximum current limit of the RPi2 USB ports.) and with the joystick and mount on a second remote RPi.
