Summary | 0001726: Connecting EQ6 mount with Skychart via Indi drivers | ||||
Description | Hello all, Last night, i encounter some issues while trying connection between pc+Skychart and EQ6 mount. - First, i load the indi-eqmod driver (indiserver indi_eqmod_telescope). Skychart sees the driver and the serial port ttyUSB0 (9600 bauds) is selected, but fails to connect. - Second, i load the indi-celestron-gps driver (indiserver indi_celestron_gps). Skychart successfully connects to the mount. So i can easily drive the EQ6 mount, but impossible to sync the mount. A right clic on the target to sync makes Skychart crash (Access Violation...) I think i saw some messages about non compatible firmware for syncing, but i am not sure. Cheers, | ||||

Bonjour Jacques, indi-celestron-gps do not work with the EQ6 Synscan hardware. If you want to do the full initialization with the Synscan handpad you must use indi_synscan_telescope. In this case do the 3 stars initialization with the handpad and then connect to the computer. If you want to use indi_eqmod_telescope you must connect the telescope using an EQdirect connector, without the handpad, for example https://www.pierro-astro.com/materiel-astronomique/accessoires-informatiques/interface-usb-eq6-direct-pour-montures-eq6-orion-atlas_detail Or set the handpad to "PC Direct" as soon as you can after power on, and no more touch any button. Then you can use goto and sync from skychart and a joystick to do the star alignment in eqmod. In this case you can find my EqmodGui for Indi useful: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eqmodgui/ |
