Hi,

I'm trying to connect a PyIndi-client to the QHY CFW. The filter wheel is mentioned here:
indilib.org/devices/ccds/qhy.html
but doesn't indicate that there is a driver for the filter wheel. I thought maybe it was embedded with the QHY CCD driver, but it is not. I also could not find the driver in the QHY repository that the page mentions to download.

So I went looking for an INDI driver for the filter wheel and found this:
indilib.org/develop/indiforjava/i4jdrive...er-wheel-driver.html
Which seems to be what I want, except that it is for Java and though it says it is still compatible with the regular "indiserver indi_qhy_ccd" command to start up the indiserver, it doesn't seem to be connected to INDI properties ( www.indilib.org/develop/developer-manual...dard-properties.html )
I'm thinking this because the driver downloaded with some documentation (attached) on commands to interact with the wheel using bytes and does not mention INDI properties. I also tried the indi_qhy_ccd and java drivers with KStars and KStars was not able to find and connect to the filter wheel. (The java driver also seems like it may not be able to be used with the USB port option on the filter wheel. Which is also an added issue.)

I was hoping to find a driver like the one listed on the INDI site for the QHY CCD for the filter wheel. Does one exist? Is the java one the only INDI driver available for the QHY CFW? If so, am I mistaken that it is not compatible with INDI properties?

Any input on the QHY CFW INDI driver would be helpful, thank you!
