I*m having Stellarmate running on PI. Connected via Ethernet to my PC. Viewing with TighVNC Viewer. Works fine. Installed Ekos to my Win 7 PC, I can't get connected.
Here what I tried.; Profile wizard I choose "attached remote computer" Typing Host's IP address as exactly same as I'm using to connect Stellarmate.
Just won't connect. What I'm doing wrongly? Any ideas? I'd like to run Ekos on my PC as well ...
Thanks for looking,

INDI Drivers must first be running on the Stellarmate. Try using the INDI Web Manager.

If you can ping the PI from Win 7 then check Windows 7 firewall isn't blocking the ports being used. Easiest way to check is to switch off Windows Firewall (temp measure of course) and try again.

If you cant ping then the Win 7 machine is not on the same network as the PI.

Plus of course you should make sure the PI is up and running BEFORE connecting the Win7 PC - and by up and running check that the Indiserver if running on rhe PI as suggested above.
