Hi,

ive started to to get to grips with KStars and EKOS using stellarmate OS and the only issue im having at present is with my Lakeside Focuser, this is my return to astrophotoraphy after a 7 year break and the lake side is hence about 6 years old. The firmware is version 1.03 and quite dated.

I can connect fine but, any changes to the backlash, or reverse settings give a buffer read error and then usually cause a crash. The focusser will move from within EKOS but any attempt to use presets again causes a crash.

I tried to enable debug but unfortunately this enables then imediately disables, so no joy there. Im assuming that its the firmware that is the issue as the INDI drivers were probbably for later revision, but it could of course be an issue with the controller itself, from other threads im finding that people are using the lakeside with INDI and id like to if anyone had any success with a similar level of firmware ?.
