Also, from what I can tell the GEP command comes from iOptron® Mount RS-232 Command Language 2014 Version 3.0, which the doc indicates is for the CEM120 mount specifically.

yes, I suspect as well that my problem is caused by an old library version.
I try to install the nightly build and test again.
I will come back to you

And are you running on Ubuntu or are you using Debian (or even another deb-based Linux)? Please note that the Ubuntu installation procedure only works on Ubuntu. Other Linux may accept the commands but it can lead to strange errors.

Sorry, now I have another problem: I can not get the nightly version

When I do:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:mutlaqja/indinightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indi-full kstars-bleeding gsc

Then I get as result:
E: Paket indi-full kann nicht gefunden werden.
E: Paket kstars-bleeding kann nicht gefunden werden.
E: Paket gsc kann nicht gefunden werden.

==> Sorry for the German: That means all 3 packages can not be found.

Any idea why?

Would it may be possible that the newer versions are not available as 32-Bit version??? I have to use the Linux Mint 32-Bit on this old computer

Sorry I will take some rest now. Its rather late in Germany already.
thanks so much for now for your great support

Yes, the last 32 bit packages were for Ubuntu 18.04 and have not been updated for a long time.

Okay, then I think the root cause is found !
Is there any possibility to get the newest stable version compiled for 32 bit? Can I do that on my Computer?
To be honest, I never compiled a package on my own from the source code and installed it.
I would be very happy to get a how-to if even possible to do it.

Thank you again for your great support
Ralf

Hi supporters,

It works now!
As already mentioned, the rootcause for my problem was, that the existing Indi Server and drivers SW for Linux 32 bit is rather old.
So I downloaded the source code of the indi core lib from Git to my Computer and compiled and installed it based on the in instructions given in the intall file.
And what shall I say: The mount now perfectly works with the IEQ45pro driver @ 115200 baud.
PS There is no driver anymore for the GEM45 selectable

Thanks to all of you who supported me in this dark hours of life

Best regards
Ralf

I have a GEM45 on order, (planning to replace my EQ6, which I've been running pretty well under Stellarmate).   I'm using a Pegasus Power system.  Just to confirm, the GEM45 is now fully supported?  And what is the status of the iPolar support?

Thanks for any information...

GEM45 is supported, so is iPolar, but I don't think you can capture more than 1 second in iPolar now since it uses a generic webcam driver.

I use inbuilt IPOLARs with both skyguider pro and GEM45EC .If I need a longer exposure than 1 minute,which i typically do; i just enable the stacking option .Works fine with the alignment modules polar alignment feature.
Make sure it is set to 1280x960 in image settings or it wont work.Mine doesnt default to this.
