Hello.
Using kstars 3.0 and the INDI control panel, I can get connections to all my other devices, except the telescope mount.
The error I get is "Error reading from device READ ERROR: Resource is temporarily unavailable (-1)".
Here is my setup for the mount and INDI/Ekos.
1. The mount is Losmandy Gemini
2. Connection method is via an Ethernet cable, from my computer, to the Gemini controller.
3. The Device address (IP) is 192.168.0.111
4. I don't know what port to enter, I tried 4030 (SkySafari uses it to connect when stand alone), 9472 and 9624 (SkySafari port via INDI), and 7624 (SkySafari Indi server port).
5. Also, do I use (tried both) TCP or UDP?
SkySafari stand alone can connect with no issues.
I thought I saw a similar post before, but cannot find it.
Please advise.
Thanks.

My recommendation would be to connect it with usb rather than Ethernet. I had a friend who tried the Ethernet route and was having trouble figuring it out, but usb worked right away so he just uses that . For me, I don’t have these options, I have to use serial since I have an older Gemini

Hi and thank you for your reply.
I want to minimize cables, and use the Ethernet to access the Gemini 2 internal webpage.
So I prefer to use the Ethernet cable only, if I can get it to work with kstars.
As I mentioned, it connects easily with SkySafari directly.
