Hi all,

We're resurrecting 2 ASH domes which are more than 45 years old, and would like to automate the scope + dome using kstars/ekos/indi.
All motors will be original (after refurbishing), so the idea is to start/stop the dome using an arduino + relay board, and getting position information using an encoder on a motor axis.

Now for the indi question:
- is it possible to use one of the predefined indi dome implementations? I'm guessing encoder positions and start/stop dome movement isn't so uncommon.
- where is slaving support implemented, is this in kstars/ekos or in the indi driver, so in case I need to write a custom indi driver does this slaving logic need to be reimplemented?
- what's the most common way for indi to interface with the arduino, usb/serial/... ?
- any leads to similar projects?
