Hi,
I have built a dit focuser using a nema17 + planetary gear with a ratio of 29, having roughly a 0.00041 mm per step. I'm using the moonlight driver. With this setup, i reach focus at ~ 70500 steps (~ 20.11mm focuser outward). I found that It's impossible to use such a number in ekos/kstars as it has an hard limit on 65535 steps and an interface limit to 60000 (strange number tho...).
I'm not proficient enough to create a pyindi interface and test if the problem is in the driver itself or in the kstars/ekos interface. What do you suggest? At the moment i'm moving to 50000, then set position as 0 and then move again, but this is not a good solution imho.
FYI:
Kstars 3.0.0 and indi 1.7.6

Thanks
Luca
