I'm trying to get two Stellarmates (I bought the OS and have it installed on two identacle Raspberry Pis 3B's) to work together to distribute the load. No matter what I try, i can't seem to get it to work. When I start the camera server, i get a message :address already in use, even though I start it from a fresh system boot.
Here's my rig:
iOptron iEQ45 Pro mount
QHY5L-II-M guide camera
Canon T3i imaging camera
My rpi's are named (and added to each rpi and my remote PC's host file)
Primary: guide
Secondary: camera
Currently, I have the primary server running the guide camera and mount. The secondary server is running the imaging camera, but I don't really care which server does what, as long as it works .
Here are the exact commands / syntax I'm keying in:
1) Start secondary Indi server via MATE Terminal (camera):
indiserver -v indi_gphoto_ccd
(this gives me a message stating: bind: Address already in use) and I'm thinking is the source of my problem.
2) Start primary Indi server via MATE Terminal and chain to Secondary (camera):
indiserver -v indi_ieq_telescope indi_qhy_ccd "GPhoto CCD"@camera:7624
I've tried every possible combination I can think of and have even reversed primary and secondary server's roles with no luck. I have Ekos running on my remote PC and I can easily connect to one or the other server and the attached devices depending upon if I change the Host to guide or camera, but Ekos refuses to see the secondary server regardless of which one I have it set as.
Being a Linux noob, I'm out of ideas to try- I've been following these three posts here on Indilib for instructions but seem to be running in circles now:
indilib.org/forum/general/3788-running-a...o-imaging-setup.html
indilib.org/forum/wish-list/811-connecti...le-indi-servers.html
indilib.org/support/tutorials/159-indi-on-multiple-devices.html
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you for any and all help you can offer!
