My personal experience was that BT is even more unreliable than Wifi connections but it could also be just delusion :side:

Ok, thanks, I will try to keep the error below 2' or so. My exposures are usually currently not above 120 secs and my focal length is 547mm, so no very big magnification.

Hi
I just wondering what are your best results with EKOS Polar Alignment Assistant, and what results do you think are sufficient for a good session?

I had a previous session where I was able to get down to 20'' (8x50 guide scope, ASI174MM Mini), but my last session was ~5'. What is your limit where you would re-do an alignment?

So far ... it seems to work, in my opinion you can close the issue on github.
Just some things in your code I want to mention :
- maybe change NULL to nullptr?
- maybe change from -std=c++0x to c++11?

indi_wiringpi_gpio
- I always have to add this crypt flag to CmakeLists.txt
( github.com/magnue/indi_wiringpi_gpio/iss...suecomment-379486642 )

indi_servoblaster_cap
- you should check to include <cstring> as I get compiler errors without it (gcc-6.x)
- I had to remove the code in "ServoBlasterCap::EnableLightBox" that checks if cap is parked.
I cannot activate the light of my flatfield-dustcover if closed but I have to, to make flats, maybe you can implement
some kind of checkbox to disable this check.
- maybe enable issues page on github for that repo so than I can bother you with my problems there :silly:

I maybe made a bit of progress.
This "Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation" (wiringpi_gpio.cpp) seems to be related to the part
in the updateProperties() function where you test for NULL:

if (InputDigitalLP[i]->lp != NULL)
    defineLight(InputDigitalLP[i]);
if (OutputDigitalSP[i]->sp != NULL)
    defineSwitch(OutputDigitalSP[i]);
My thought was that "InputDigitalLP->lp" and "OutputDigitalSP->sp" needs to be initialized with something...
So I assigned NULL to it right after its creation in the "WiringPiGPIO::WiringPiGPIO()" constructor:
WiringPiGPIO::WiringPiGPIO()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_PINS; i++)
    {
        InputDigitalLP[i] = new ILightVectorProperty;
        OutputDigitalSP[i] = new ISwitchVectorProperty;
                
                // added
                InputDigitalLP[i]->lp = NULL;
                OutputDigitalSP[i]->sp = NULL;
                //
    }
    OutputPWMNP = new INumberVectorProperty;

    setVersion(0,1);
    setDriverInterface(AUX_INTERFACE);
}

I really dont know If this is the right way to do it but a first tests with the new code show normal behaviour of the driver (compiled with gcc-6.x).
I can set gpio's, switch them, and save them successfully B).
I will report back if there is any new fail.

Ok, thanks Magnus_e.
In the meantime just out of curiosity and for personal pleasure :huh: I am playing with valgrind and it found some issues:

#valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --trace-children=yes --track-origins=yes indiserver indi_wiringpi_gpio

...

Ok, with 2017-07-05-raspbian-jessie.img (gcc-4.9.2) indi_wiringPi_gpio works.
Magnus_e I bet if you update your gcc or use any recent distro for Raspberry I am sure it will
crash on your system too.
It seems something changed from gcc-4.9.x to gcc-?? that made your driver unusable.
If I stay on gcc-4.9.2 (jessie) I think it will be only a matter of time until something indi related requires >gcc-4.9.x
and I will be back at this issue.

I think the issue has nothing to do with the systeminfo tabs, I removed that code completely but the issue persists.
It must be something in wiringpi_gpio.cpp.
I will try to take a look at valgrind, maybe I can get a hint where the problem originates from but I currently only get some kind of restarting loop if I try it with:

valgrind --trace-children=yes indiserver -v indi_simulator_telescope indi_simulator_ccd indi_wiringpi_gpio
and if I connect kstars it somehow never reaches the point where the driver gets fully initialized.
