Hello everyone,

I recently get a Pocket PowerBox Advanced, it works perfectly under windows, but I run my setup with ekos kstars.

I choose the PPB driver as aux1 in my ekos setup, everything works perfectly except the PocketPowerBox, i've mean
- each piece of my setup are correctly powered (they are all connected to the PPBA)
- each piece of my setup are correctly connected (they are all connected to the PPBA)
- but the PPBA cannot get connected, in the ekos manager it's indefinelty stay unconnected

Did someone successfully connected it?
I'm so sad that i won't be able to manage my dew heater, or to change the voltage output when I use my DSLR instead of my ASI1600?

Thanks for you support.

Hi everyone,

I do face so tricky issue while using my Sony A7S with EKOS
I was used to do everything correct with a CANON 1200d, but i get a SONY A7S few month ago, and since then I wasn't able to shoot properly

I am facing these issues
Connexion a7s ok with sony DSLR driver

Liveview Ok in CCD & filter wheel module

snapshoot KO : either in both module CCD & Filter wheel or solver control
The first shoot seems to be ok, and then if I do move or not the mount the same picture is shown again and again with different pattern of noise, and sometimes (maybe after 10/20 shoot) a new picture appears correctly and then same problem again..

I do have try several USB cables, or either with powererd hub or directyly on tinkerboard ubuntu 18.04


I think i need some help

Hi everybody,

I'm struggling an issue since a couple of month.
I'am using kstars and ekos since almost two years now.
But this summer I started to find that my astronights sessions failed beacuse of eqmod disconnection while I was away

Sometimes it works, for hours, for night, sometimes it disconnect several time in the night.
When a disconnection occurs I cannot reconnect eqmodmount from Ekos, I must go to my observatory and physicaly switch the USB port on the computer, then in ekos I have to scan port and affect the new com adress (com0->com1->Com2...)

I first thought it was a cable issue but with a new one nothing change.

Any Idea?
