I am creating a mount/scope set-up that simply finds the moon. The intention is that all there is int eh system is the Mount / scope / PiZero (GPS). The mount will be in a perminent location and therefore the pointing model should be ready for action. All the user does is turn on the system and the mount (via a Python script which I have already written using the emulator) will unpark and move to the moon's position (calculated using AstroPy). That's it.

So that means no WiFi...other than for configuration and editing of the Python script. No KStars...again other than for possible maintenance.

BUT. I still cannot make it work!

You say indi-synscan and synscan-legacy..... The only drivers I see in my 1.7.4 install are the following....in fact this is what I type in the PiZero terminal:

indiserver -vv indi_synscan_telescope

BUT this does not work.....it simply reports (in KStars) "Synscan Mount Not Responding"

I get a little further with the following:

indiserver -vv indi_eqmod_telescope

That produces the following:
