Hi, i'm facing the same issue for both the focuser and relays drivers.
I compiled Astroberry on a PINE A64 board running ubuntu.
I have also a comparison between the PI and PINE pinouts but even if I have the config files in the .indi folders after using the trick from Gene i'm not able to define custom pins.

My idea is to use the relay driver to control the shutter of my camera (fuji xt1) and I would like to do a DIY focuser with a nema motor for my red cat.

In general I would like to exploit the pins of my board instead of use a lot of arduinos plugged to usb ports. is it possible?

thank you in advance
Eugenio

thank you for the reply.
I will try with your settings, even though in T mode you are limited to 30" and maybe I would like to take longer exposures.

Hi,
I was digging in the forum about the possibility of using a Fuji X-T1 with Ekos.
I was able to do some exposure with the electronic shutter but the exposure time is limited to 1" by the camera.

Using a separate shutter release is the only way to shoot long exposures in bulb mode with the mechanical shutter? And I can set any value for the exposure time?
Apparently, with gphoto2 from the command line I can control the camera in bulb mode with the mechanical shutter and download the image, why it doesn't work in Ekos?
Am I missing something?

Thank you,
Eugenio
