Hi all !

I'm having trouble with merdidian flip with EQMOD driver : sometimes it doesn't work.

I would like to debug it. Is there a way to have logs ? Where can I find them  ?

Here is my configuration :
On laptop : Kstars 3.4.1 and phd2
On odroid : indiserver :
odroid@NAFABoxnafabox:~$ indiserver -v
2021-04-14T06:18:20: startup: indiserver -v  
Usage: indiserver [options] driver [driver ...]
Purpose: server for local and remote INDI drivers
INDI Library: 1.8.9
Code 1.8.9-tgz. Protocol 1.7.

Sometime it works all night, sometimes meridian flip is not made. i'm looking for why.

Hardware :
newton 200/800 on a atlas EQ-G (EQ6 clone) , with atik 46EX, ati EFW, atik Titan on a OAG

tks

It would be helpfull if you enable logs for mount, capture and scheduler and post them here. Do you use sheduler or you just use capture tab?

On my HEQ5 and EQ6 mounts, I need to set the meridian flip to 10 degrees (that's 40 minutes) past the meridian. If I set it to a lower value then the flip will be attempted but it fails and then Ekos reschedules the flip and keeps on rescheduling it until it succeeds.

So, when you write "sometimes it doesn't work", what do you mean exactly? Does Ekos give up after a single attempt or does it perhaps keep on trying without you noticing?
