I may be totally wrong here (because I am not using Stellarmate anymore) but at some point I had the impression that the support for the 2i was dropped as I also was not able to move it anymore.
If you have access to a windows PC you can try to install Green Swamp Server to check if Hardware and Connectivity is OK, the GSS supports the 2i just fine but unfortunately it is windows only.

It is mostly the guiding pulses I am interested in, when it is possible to send them via the mount and not via ST4 then I could use a simple camera that I have here for guiding instead of building an USB-based Arduino ST4 interface.
I will try if eqmod also works for me and will report back here.
The only thing I do not understand is that when eqmod actually works a little better why Star adventurer was aliased to the Az Driver. But perhaps that has to do with the possibility to use WiFi to connect and not Serial via USB.
Many thanks for the answers so far!!!!!

Hi,
this is my first post here, thank you for the indi project, the tools are a pleasure to use!
But now for my question:
I have upgraded my Astroberry to latest software with apt-get dist-upgrade and I have also upgraded my kernel to latest/greatest with rpi-update.
This now gives me two new things:
an alias for the Star Adventurer in Ekos and because of the kernel update I am able to communicate with the USB-to-Serial converter on the Star Adventurer.
I set communication to the Star Adventurer to 115200 bps, this setting works fine for me to connect to the Star Adventurer with the screen command:
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
I can then manuall enter
:e1
and get back the firmware version of my Star Adventurer (=030B0A)
so communication over serial works.
However, when I try to connect via Ekos I get an error and this log:
astroberry@astroberry:~/.indi/logs/2021-08-01/indi_skywatcherAltAzMount $ cat *

I could find very little comments in this forum on using Star Adventurer, what is the status of the driver, anything I can help with?
I have already grabbed most of the communication of the app with the device via WiFi, as most of the protocol seems to be documented I am not sure if those captures are of any use or if the AltAzMount already has everything necessary implemented....
Thank you,
Michael

Hi, as my first post to this forum seems to have made it to Nirvana only (Cannot see it in My Topcs) I am doing a 2nd post, hoping for it to come through.
Basically my question is what the status of the Star Adventurer Driver (Alias) is, is it supposed to work or still work in progress?
Thank you,
Michael
