Hello,

unfortunately they are not - just installed 2.9.1 and my drivers, while listed, are not yet available.

Anything I can do to solve / help / expedite this?

Thanks,

Hello,

so I just installed the latest version of Kstars in a Mac. Under devices, I can see some of them available while some others listed but unavailable - image attached.

What's the way to get those drivers ready to use? Or just a matter of patience?

Thanks in advance,

jaime

Thanks.

I tried some ideas yesterday with no luck. I'll try again as soon as I can divert some time.

Once I've worked this out I'll report back.

Thanks, hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Yes, the ::connect is definitely doing something (it's called also for UDP), but as far as I know this should only set the default destination address:port.

In fact I'm able to send, and my equipment receives, packets using the standard tty_write... But I totally fail to receive. I was expecting / hoping to see a "bind" or "recvfrom" in your code ... no luck. So for me the mystery is how you are able to receive from the mount. But your code is nice and clear and I can't find the answer.

I still have a few things to try, eventually will manage to have this working, I hope.

Thanks for your time!

After digging a bit I still don't get how you manage to receive messages using the standard tty_read functions - as far as I know a bind or recvfrom is required, and I find none!

In my tests, using the code "as is", I can get data sent to destination, but nothing received.

Enlightenment, pleaseeee?

(I must say I'm a bit surprised of finding gemini specific code in the indicom files - I can understand sometimes there's no other way, though)

Thanks

Thanks, that's the same I intend to do, so I'll check the Gemini telescope driver to see how you did it!

Hello,

I've noticed some kind of UDP support has been added recently; I don't manage to get the standard "tty_read" and "tty_write" to work with it.

Looking at connectiontcp.cpp code, it is a bit confusing to see it calling a "connect" for an UDP connection - and no "bind".
It's common for UDP clients to:
- open the socket
- bind with address NULL
- perform "sendto"s
(other alternatives maybe sendto/recvfrom...)

I intended to add some code to improve this, but not sure of the approach. Also I don't know if there's any other code using the UDP as it is now? (I don't see how...)

I'll be glad to code it if a convenient approach is found.

Thanks again,

jaime

Hello,

I've just written a couple of focuser drivers for the Lunatico products (Armadillo / Platypus).

What's the next step to have them included in the distribution?
They do not need any external drivers or components in Linux, is it possible to have them listed in the core?

Thanks,

jaime
