I am not sure about working with the original motors. I feel the upgrade kit with the belt drive motors is much better and feel like the mount can carry more weight. Now for performance I have been able to get my tracking error down to .5.pa. When my alignment is off or windy nights 2.5 pa. Good enough for short 120 sec subs.

I dont know if the stellarmate will work but the astroberry will. The function of the GOTO work but it will lack the telescope position. This is due to the lack of proper feed back coming from the hand controller. I have since upgraded to the Eqmod from Astro-gadgets with will bring the feed back needed to show the telescope tracking in Kstars. You can guide and do astrophotography. I hope this helps.

Hi by USB3 do you mean USB 3.0 the blue plugs in the Pi4?
Doing both cgps and gpsmon when the gps dongle is only connected works fine it all stops working once I add the ZWO camera which is a USB 3.0 blue connection(tired both pulgs as well still crashed the gps). I will try connecting everything on the a USB2.0 with a hub and see if that helps

Hi
The other day I did a a fresh install of Astroberry. I set up all my devices like I normally would do. Bresser Mount w/ Eqmod controller, Canon 20d, ASI120MC guide cam. Once that was done started the indi web server and connected a remote pc with Kstars. Everything was working well until I started to do the polar alignment tool. Kstars would crash and shutdown. I found that a setting in the Indi profile for the canon was set the large JPEG file format. Once I change this to RAW format everything work well. I never had to change this before but looks like this is change every time I make a connection to the camera. I have tried to save the setting to raw on the camera but it will change back to JPEG once the Indi makes it's connection. If there is something I can do to change this or is this the new procedure when I connect to the camera.
Thanks
OM

Hi
I see you have an EqStar Pro, I just got mine the other day and the only way I have been able to connect to is using the Snyscan app on IOS. I am having no luck getting the astroberry to connect to the serial port.
For you issue I had the same problem with the bressor exos2 goto system. I found a custom driver that worked but the sewing was all wrong.
