Dear all,

I have a question related to the possibility of using 2 focusers of myfocuserpro2 type in one setup with INDI and EKOS.
I am trying to do it in this way:

Step 1: in terminal start indiserver and 2 instances of the myfocuserpro2 drivers

indiserver -vvv indi_eqmod_telescope indi_qhy_ccd indi_canon_ccd indi_myfocuserpro2_focus indi_astroberry_focuser
Step 2: in Ekos in focuser field
fill myfocuserpro2
Step 3: Start Ekos
Step 4: in Indi control pannel, select the target UBS port (let’s say USB0) to get the needed myfocuserpro2 connected.

Is there another way to do it ?
I tried to configure EKOS to use the 2nd focuser by filling AUX 1 field but without success.

I am thinking about using the interacting driver starting like below to able to give different names to the focusers to be able to differentiate them in EKOS
echo start /usr/bin/indi_myfocuserpro2_focus -n \"Focuser1\" -s \"/home/xxxx/.indi/MyFocuserPro2_config.xml\">INDIFIFO
echo start /usr/bin/indi_myfocuserpro2_focus -n \"Focuser2\" -s \"/home/xxxx/.indi/MyFocuserPro2_Add_config\">INDIFIFO

Someone one have an idea about to manages 2 focusers in more elegant way ?

thank you !
