Hi All,
I think I'm experiencing a bug, but I'm not sure if it's with the device firmware or the Indi driver. The issues is FlipFlap driver not recognizing a state change from Parked to Unparked and and vice-versa. I am not using a filter wheel, as I've seen in other threads, but am experiencing a failure when I'm running KStars 3.6.0 on RPi4 with with Arduino Nano flashed with El Flat Panel firmware . I can Unpark and Park the flap from within the indi Controll panel manually, but the status light stays red and the Unpack button tries to turn green but flashes back to grey and the Parked button turns green again, even though it is in fact unparked. This isn't a huge deal, but when I try to run the scheduler it sees the cap as "Parked" when it's really "Unparked" and aborts the job. I've run thru this with verbose logging turned on and there isn't much info that I can see. I've attached a log and the cap errors out towards the bottom of the log. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Here is the section of the log the error presents itself:
