Hi, I'm experimenting with the Scheduler in Ekos, simulators only at the moment, with a view to use it in my observatory. In the Job Startup Conditions is there a reason why the year is not used for the 'On' condition? Would the year not being used here cause a problem selecting targets for the new year from the current year?

Hi Jaseem,
I'm trying to access these function from the Focus module using DBus.
public slots:
Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void capture();
public:
Q_SCRIPTABLE double getHFR()
{
return currentHFR;
}
capture() is working fine using 'focus_object.capture()' but getHFR() gives an error
AttributeError: '<CompositeObject>' object has no attribute 'getHFR'
I'm guessing this is because getHFR() is not defined in the 'public slots' section.
Is it not possible to access getHFR() using DBus or do I have to access it differently?
Ray.

Hi, would it be possible to add Enable/Disable Slaving buttons to the Dome Toolbar in Kstars?

Did about 50 solves using simulators only and results were good. Seemed slower than astap but faster than astrometry (local).

Hi Jasem, I'm no programmer so I doubt what I did to implement this is the right way but the two files I changed as follows...
/ekos/capture/capture.h
public slots:
Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void pause(); // changed this line
Q_SCRIPTABLE Q_NOREPLY void toggleSequence(); // added this line
private slots:
// removed this line void toggleSequence();
org.kde.kstars.Ekos.Capture.xml
// added these lines
<method name="pause">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply" value="true"/>
</method>
<method name="toggleSequence">
<annotation name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Method.NoReply" value="true"/>
</method>

Hi Jasem, I'm using Ekos DBUS script to control the image capture Start/Stop function of the Capture module. The ability to Pause the capture queue is available from the GUI but is not supported by DBUS scripting. I have made small changes to the Kstars source files and recompiled to provide this function but it would be nice if 'Pause capture' could be supported by Ekos DBUS scripts in future Kstars releases.
Regards.

Thank Yo Kaczorek, I was running pyindi-client 0.2.3 after upgrading to 0.2.4 mqtt broadcast installs and runs as expected. Thanks again.

Any ideas please?
