Hi,
I have problem to connect to my mount, a EQ6 and normally I use EQMOD when workning with windows PC. Now I try to do the same with Linux system and Kstars and Ekos. But I get a error message:

2016-10-08T17:00:30: Error: -> Error connecting to port /dev/ttyUSB0: Port failure Error: Permission denied. Try adding your user to the dialout group and restart (sudo adduser $USER dialout)
2016-10-08T17:00:30: Connecting to port /dev/ttyUSB0 at speed 9600

And what does this error message means?
"Try adding your user to the dialout group and restart (sudo adduser $USER dialout)"

I did this in the termial:
raspberr@rb01:~$ sudo adduser $rb01 dialout
[sudo] password for raspberr:
adduser: The group `dialout' already exists.

My user name is "rb01" for Ubuntu.

Is it my username for Ubuntu or the name of the profile in my Ekos setup? And what to do with it?

If I try to change the port no to: port /dev/ttyUSB0 port /dev/ttyUSB1, or port /dev/ttyUSB2 or port /dev/ttyUSB3. And there is only four USB ports on my Raspberry Pi 3.

I have not installed indi EQMod because it's already there.

Or shall I follow this and install EQMod once again?

indilib.org/devices/telescopes/eqmod.html

I can't find out what's wrong.

Your username is raspberr. Your machine hostname is rb01. Just run the command as is and it should work.
Make sure to restart after the above command is executed.

Hi Jasem,

Oh... what a mistake I did, I changed it like this. And then restarted.

raspberr@rb01:~$ sudo adduser $raspberr dialout
[sudo] password for raspberr:
adduser: The group `dialout' already exists.


I get the answere that dialout already exits. Maybe not wrong.


Then I try to connect Ekos to indi EQMod from Main Control, this is my setup:



It still say port failure error.

This time I didn't change the port number, I move the mount USB cable to the four different ports of my Raspberry, error on all.

Maybe there is some complement software for me to install?

When I use EQMOD in windows I always have to do a setup in EQMOD with correct port number, that must correspond to what I do in Ekos Main Control. But how do I know which port is which on the Raspberry?

/Lars

no no AS IS, leave it as $USER don't put your username there

Hi Jasem,
Now did Ekos connect to EQMod, it works !

Thank you very much !

Glad it's working for you. I'm actually going to add this step as a post-installation script so that users don't have to suffer. Let's see if I can get that working.
