In my logfile I parked and unparked the mount and then tracking works.
I don't know much about the eqmod-protocoll but I think that the mount says

[COMM] read_eqmod: \"=101\", 5 bytes read

when the tracking doesn't start

[COMM] read_eqmod: \"=301\", 5 bytes read

when it works

in the indi-eqmod-module it works very well. I build it on an arduino mega 2560 and the first connection fails every time but it automatically connects again and everything works. Currently I try to get my guiding more stable which can be very tricky. I didn't have any problems with tracking: I right-click on a position in kstars, select EQMod->track and it works.

Also I can recommend the custom pulleys for the EQ5 in the AstroEQ project.

I use the DRV8825 stepper drivers and had sometimes problems with the adjustment of the motor current but if you mount slews normal this should be okay.

Sorry, I do not undestand this

standby for me, but :
i "think" these troubles could be related to initialization :
With arduino's stuff, a RST is sent when a serial connection arrives...
To avoid that, i will certainly put a 100uF cap between +5V and RST pins of arduino,(found on MyFocuserPro DIY project)
i've not tried yet...
you could also try to see on AstroEQ forum, i think there are some threads about that...

Gilles wrote: The second is that after connection, when i set sideral tracking, my RA motor doesn't move.
The only way to make it move is to make a brief slew to W or E with the motion buttons.
After, everything seems to go fine.

I've attached my log, i must say i couldn't find anything

But it is version 2.9.1, not 2.9.2 yet. Why are you using 32bit OS in 2018?

Hello! Tell me please where can I get the Kstars for Windows 10 32-bit?
On edu.kde.org/kstars/#download available only 64-bit version
Thank you in advance!
P.S. Sorry for may bad English...
