Srs, hi all!,

I want to reset the absolute position of focus cube to a zero valor, without moving the motor, via commands, something like :

indi_setprop "Pegasus DMFC".ABS_FOCUS_POSITION.FOCUS_ABSOLUTE_POSITION=0

The Focus Controller for Windows have this option (the button reset to zero position).

does anyone know how to do this?


Best regards,

Hi all!,

i am working sending commands to an indi server running indi_celestron_gps to "goto" to the stars.
i need to know when the telescope is pointing at the object. there are some feedback from the equatorial mount
to the client to know when the mount stop the movement because the object was targeted?

Hi everybody,

I have problems trying to command the Pegasus Focuscube.

The sequence of commands are :

1) sudo indiserver -vv indi_dmfc_focus
The server start.
From other console :
2) indi_getprop
I obtain the next :
Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION.CONNECT=Off
Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION.DISCONNECT=On
Pegasus DMFC.DRIVER_INFO.DRIVER_NAME=Pegasus DMFC
Pegasus DMFC.DRIVER_INFO.DRIVER_EXEC=indi_dmfc_focus
Pegasus DMFC.DRIVER_INFO.DRIVER_VERSION=1.0
Pegasus DMFC.DRIVER_INFO.DRIVER_INTERFACE=8
Pegasus DMFC.DEBUG.ENABLE=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEBUG.DISABLE=On
Pegasus DMFC.POLLING_PERIOD.PERIOD_MS=500
Pegasus DMFC.CONFIG_PROCESS.CONFIG_LOAD=Off
Pegasus DMFC.CONFIG_PROCESS.CONFIG_SAVE=Off
Pegasus DMFC.CONFIG_PROCESS.CONFIG_DEFAULT=Off
Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION_MODE.CONNECTION_SERIAL=On
Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION_MODE.CONNECTION_TCP=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_PORT.PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.9600=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.19200=On
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.38400=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.57600=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.115200=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_BAUD_RATE.230400=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_AUTO_SEARCH.ENABLED=On
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_AUTO_SEARCH.DISABLED=Off
Pegasus DMFC.DEVICE_PORT_SCAN.Scan Ports=Off
Pegasus DMFC.SYSTEM_PORTS./dev/ttyUSB1=Off

Then, execute next :

3) indi_setprop "Pegasus DMFC".SYSTEM_PORTS./dev/ttyUSB1=On
and obtain, among others :

Pegasus DMFC.SYSTEM_PORTS./dev/ttyUSB1=On

4) indi_setprop "Pegasus DMFC".CONNECTION.CONNECT=On
but when execute indi_getprop , again obtain
Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION.CONNECT=Off

I am alternating commands in other order:
first : indi_setprop "Pegasus DMFC".CONNECTION.DISCONNECT=Off
second : indi_setprop "Pegasus DMFC".CONNECTION.CONNECT=On

but always obtain : Pegasus DMFC.CONNECTION.CONNECT=Off

Any suggestions or idea of what is happening?

Best regards
