Yesterday I did other attemps with the AZ GTI and Ekos. Plate solving worked, but after the sync, the mount I did a slew to another object and it took the wrong direction.

I also tried to guide on an object, and got an error (see attachment).

I don't know whether this problems are related to bad polar alignment.

Logs might shed some idea. CHeck my signature for how. Make sure Mount + INDI + Guide + Telescope are all checked in the logs window before you start.

I had no problems with plate solve+sync with this driver. Even guiding with Phd2 worked perfectly.
I dint pay attention to slew speed, however changing slew speeds from mount control, did work and slewed at those speed. my goto's were at 600x speed.(yes its noisy)

Hello,
I am new to Ekos. Have AZ-GTI with updated firmware and EQ wedge.
Just bought a StellarMate.
What do I need to do to get the updated driver? (sorry, not very familiar with Linux).
Thanks!

Sorry - a stupid newbie question.
I connected Ekos/Stellarmate to the mount's wifi hotspot.
Stellarmate is connected to my home router for VNC.
This works.
But what do I do in the field - how do I VNC to Stellarmate if its wifi is taken by the mount?
I was hoping to do everything with a single android tablet...
Thanks!

If you put the AZ GTi wifi in station mode ,mount should connect to stellarmate hotspot . By default mount wifi is in hotspot mode .

I use an external wifi dongle with Raspberry Pi ,so can vnc to mount and RPI3 built in wifi connects to AZ GTI.

Well, I got one but it turned out to be not compatible with RPI3...
Can you recommend a dongle which would work?
Thanks!

I have these and they work fine with Rpi3 . I only use dongle because the inbuilt wifi on the RPI3 is not that stable .

Have you tried changing the mode of wifi on AZ GTi to "Station Mode" and see if that works without dongle
