Hello everyone,
I am currently experimenting with INDI servers on my Raspberry Pi 4, running Ubuntu Server 64-bit. I installed all INDI libraries and finally started an INDI server.
Now, I wanted to test this server with the Ekos on my laptop running Ubuntu.
Given that where I work I cannot connect them through internet (Firewall issues), I connected the RB to the PC directly with an ethernet cable. However, I started the server with:
indiserver -v
-
the server is operative and listening to port 7624. (as you can see in attached picture)
Then, I open Ekos and try to connect to the server with "Device Manager" -> "Client".
I add a new host using the name of the RB user, and using 7624 as port.
However, it says that it failed to connect to INDI server.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you very much for the information! I will consider also all of there in the final choice!

Thank you very much for your advice. I am very new to the topic of astronomy instruments (I have always studied it theoretically) so I am still trying to figure out how things work in the practical world.
By the way, I thought that Davis VP2 was a good choice because it has all the sensors required in one solution, whereas for the CloudWatcher it is needed to choose every additional sensor and assemble all together.
This one

should be the full sensor suite, right? (I need just to add the anemometer, if I am not mistaken)

Hi everyone,
I am trying to set up an observatory for research purposes, but I am struggling in understanding how a weather station can be connected to Ekos.
After some researches I have understood that the Davis Vantage Pro2 should be a good choice for what I have to do (complete sensor suite, INDI lib available, etc.), but I would like to ask if you know how this weather station can be connected to the Ekos system (i.e., to the mini PC commanding the shelter + telescope system).
Thank you in advance for your time.
