I have an Ioptron GEM45 updated to latest firmware, no hand controller attached.
Raspberry PI is running indi from git sources.Windows laptop is running kstars/ekos from nightly builds.

Tracking does not automatically start after a slew.
I can manually push tracking under scope controls in ekos to start tracking after a slew, and everything will work fine
Tracking is not automatically enabled after an automatic meridian flip.
Log attached.

Still have this problem.
Indi built from git on RPI4. Running kstars either on the RPI or on windows. GEM45 runnin the iOptron v3 driver.
When the GEM45 slews, it will slew to the correct location and stop, but indi/ekos does not detect that the scope has stopped. Status in ekos is that the scope is still slewing even if has stopped. The scope will automatically start tracking if I press the red stop button in ekso scope controls.
I have tried to delete the .indi folder and set up everything from scratch, but no solution.
Same behaviour with handset attached and without.

Ideas anyone?

I noticed this in the bleeding version of v3 on ubuntu as well. i think the stable version still works.

please could you raise a ticket on this as a bug on github / indi .

Bug filed - and solved within minutes.
I've rebuilt indi from git and confirmed that slewing now works on GEM45 with the iOptronV3 driver.

Christopher,
Everything seems to be working now when slewing to different targets.
Seems to get some clear skies tomorrow and can get it tested with guiding as well.
