INDIDuino driver not working properly

It seems that indi-duino driver is not build for modern INDI device classes.
It needs migrating to new INDI::Focuser, INDI::Weather,etc classes. I'm guessing separate driver for each.
Can anyone make this happen, i don't have needed coding skills.
I tried contacting INDIDuino author but didn't get reply.

I think all the indiduino devices are one driver of class 'auxiliary' and the behaviour is loaded at runtime based on the INDISKEL environment variable.
I'm not sure if there really is a way around this.

I'm building an arduino based focuser at the moment but did not use indiduino, as I want a real INDI:Focuser that Ekos can use.

Yes i know how it works now, but i meant that if someone could build new drivers for indiduino devices.
Separate driver for focuser, separate driver for meteostation etc. etc.
Are you using same hardware setup? Arduino + easydriver + stepper? If you are, then you are doing just what i was asking =)

No I'm not using easydriver, I'm using the basic stepper library that comes with the arduino IDE (www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Stepper)
It seems easy to use. The biggest difference with my one is its not a USB device. Comms is over HTTP. so the focuser needs to be plugged into the same network as the indi server. I got sick of USB-serial and weird things happening when plugged into USB hubs, cable lengths etc etc.

Here is the source to my focuser if it is any help :-)
