Hi knro,

That's perfect!
Thank you very much for the effort.
Was is just as easy as adding the {"0070", "CEM70"} tuple to the Drivers::models map in ioptronv3driver.cpp?"
And do you know whether this is already tested by someone with a CEM70 mount?

Kind regards,

Sander

Yes I believe so, I just pushed that as well. If you can compile from GIT, please re-compile and report back!

Coming Friday I go back to the optics shop to buy my new setup.
Still doubting between the CEM70 and CEM120... difficult decision to make
It has to carry a Celestron 11 inch Edge HD with a ZWO 60mm guide scope and some camera equipment, both will do fine I guess.

One of my requirements is to have my setup working on a Linux machine (probably KStars + Ekos + INDI).
Good to see that both CEM70 and CEM120 are supported now, although the CEM70 is a new mount which is probably not tested yet with INDI.

For sure when I go for the CEM70 I will try it out with the latest INDI that you pushed and I will report back my findings.
When I go for the CEM120 I guess reporting back has not so much added value as this mount is already proven to work with INDI!
This also gives me confidence that it will work for the CEM70 as well, as they seem to be identical w.r.t. the software interface and tracking hardware.

Hi,

Just to let you know...
I went for the CEM120, so I have no further input / experiences with CEM70 + INDI.

Hi Knro, I recently purchased a CEM70g which I’m trying to use on MacOS using KStars-Ekos-Indi. Going off your previous comments, I’m having problems getting Ekos & Indi to communicate with the mount. Basically the mount shows error commands in the connection. Are there any specifics I should be aware of?

I can use SS6pro which connects via the mounts WiFi and syncs with the handset, so I am able to remotely control the mount. However I would much prefer the use of KStars/Ekos/Indi as I would like to take full advantage if possible of the iPolar and iGuider as well as camera control.

Firmware for the mount is up to date, any ideas would be much appreciated, thank you.

Richard.

The CEM 70 is a different driver to the CEM 120, so there is the issue, as it has different features...

Any logs?

Hi Knro, new update, after fiddling with the INDI Control Panel connection tab IP address and port, somehow I now have communication to the port however the mount info is defaulting to the cem120 and I have no control over the mount in KStars.
The firmware for the cem70g are

HC V2 :200303
MAIN :200115
RA :200116
DEC :200116
CATALOG :150429

Using the mount control panel to move, the logs say what I am pressing but there's no physical movement in the mount

Enable verbose logging for mount and attach logs.

hope this is what you mean?

Just some more screenshots of the tab settings

Sorry, my bad. After a heavy session under the stars in the UK last night, feeling a little sensitive here is a copy of the logs
