You're missing libnova libs. You can install it by running "sudo apt-get install libnova-dev"

Dear Radek,

thank you for taking care. I just seem to have one problem remaining, actually I was now able to work through most the instructions as per the installation guide (except step 4, which does not seem to be needed in my case):

When running "make", step 5 of the generic instructions, there is something mentioned concerning the gps driver:

astroberry@astroberry:~/astroberry-diy/build$ make
[ 6%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/indi_rpigps.dir/rpi_gps.o
In file included from /home/astroberry/astroberry-diy/rpi_gps.cpp:19:0:

Could you have another look?

Best, Helge

Now you're missing libgps. You need to read that it says otherwise you will never get there Run "sudo apt-get install libgps-dev"

PS. Take a look at the line /home/astroberry/astroberry-diy/rpi_gps.h:25:22: fatal error: libgpsmm.h: No such file or directory
PS2. Last time error was in the line /home/astroberry/astroberry-diy/rpi_gps.h:23:29: fatal error: libnova/libnova.h: No such file or directory
PS3. Can you see any pattern in these lines?

I am sure I will make it to the top of the craziest astroberry users!

now, fatal error: RTIMULib.h => very clear, all I need to do is sudo apt-get install RTMULIb-dev

but:

astroberry@astroberry:~/astroberry-diy/build$ sudo apt-get install RTIMULib-dev
Reading package lists... Done

then I recalled that there is the requirement: * RTIMULib (for Astroberry AltIMU) available here github.com/RPi-Distro/RTIMULib

now the file is in the directory, re-running sudo apt-get install RTIMULib did not score any results

what to do?

What about sudo apt-get install librtimulib-dev?

Yes - mission accomplished. Now I can select astroberry focuser!!

Thank you so much for your patience,

Helge

Great to hear that! I have updated INSTALL instructions based on this discussion. Credits go to Helge.

Not sure if I really deserve any credits - really appreciate you are enabling people like myself to use all these great tools you and others were developing!

Now I was wondering about the following: I run KStars/Ekos on the laptop, using the astroberry / Raspberry to run the focuser-driver, connected via wlan. I guess I would start up the driver via ssh command. But on the windows-laptop, in Ekos profile editor, what do I need to chose for the focuser, since in KStars 2.8.2 the astroberry drivers would not be available / could not be selected in the drop-down menus.

While you run remote mode for INDI server you need to type in driver's name in Focuser field. That's all

Dear Radek,

I tried like this (see upload) - but did not work. In the focuser module I could not edit the related field.

I also tried various permutations of rpifocser, but did not succeed. I reckon you meant something else...

Best, Helge

You're almost there. The name of the device is Astroberry Focuser

Yep, now it is starting up.

Thanks and good night!
