I'm having issues trying to get the Celestron Aux driver working with a homebrew Arduino based Aux bus to USB adapter. The project and my logs for this issue are detailed in this topic on CN.

Using this adapter in Windows works flawlessly with both CPWI and NexRemote. However, I can't seem to get the driver to initialize in Ekos. It looks like the handshake fails every time. I'm wondering if the driver is requiring cts/rts on the serial port. It looks like it is. If so, is there a way to disable that but still use the Aux protocol? The Tri-State buffering is handled by the Leonardo Arduino so the USB serial port wouldn't need it. I saw a brief mention of an experimental USB-Aux connection but selection USB/HC doesn't seem to work either (I assumed this was the aux wrapped in HC header protocol).

Any clarification would be helpful.

Thanks.

+1 for fcitx:5. fcitx:4 from gentoo's repo was unusable for me, fcitx:5 from gentoo-zh works great.

Well isn't this convenient. I just ordered an AVX and I have access to a CPC (with an aux port). I guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow... Building an aux cable.

Sorry I can't be more helpful right now

Does anyone know if we can use indi_setprop to change cts/rts handshaking?

I see nothing in github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/ma...aux/celestronaux.cpp that suggests there is a settable property. I also don't see it on indilib.org/telescopes/celestron/celestron-aux-driver.html

I see that. I think I might clone and try to manually force m_IsRTSCTS to low and see what happens.

It Works!!! Now, who can I talk to about maybe getting this as an option for the Aux/PC selection. Would be nice to have "Disabled Hardware Handshaking - Only useful for some homebrew aux adapters". This is what I modified in celestronaux.cpp.

//m_IsRTSCTS = detectRTSCTS();
m_IsRTSCTS = false;
LOG_ERROR("TEMP HACK -- Set m_IsRTSCTS to false.");

This simply forces RTS/CTS to false. For whatever reason it gets set to true with the mount adapter I'm using even though it's not using it at the serial side.
