firstly great thanks to the team for latest release, I only got to try it this week and was very excited to see improvements that jumped out, several that were on my wish list:-
- camera temperature indication for Canon (would be great to have tickbox option to add this to filenames)
- better integration of lin_guider
- the pulse guide option for skysensor (not tested yet)
During first run of v1.7.4 with new Raspberrypi 3 using ubuntu mate, I noticed what might be a bug with skysensor slew control while following my normal workflow :-
1. connect skysensor, canon and lodestar guider, check focus, take some flats, start guide calibration - all OK
2. after starting guiding (lin-guider) on remote, I normally use client kstar to slew target using mouse select target, then right click option for skysensor 'slew' or use ekos mount control to move.
Here I got no slew and after setting debug I saw error reported in the remote indi.log
"Driver indi_lx200ss2000pc: indi_lx200ss2000pc dispatch error: Property EQUATORIAL_EOD_COORD is not defined in SkySensor2000PC.
after checking several options I also noticed any attempt at mount control using ekos 'keypad' or indi control panel motion control resulted also in this error
"Driver indi_lx200ss2000pc: indi_lx200ss2000pc dispatch error: Property TELESCOPE_MOTION_NS is not defined in SkySensor2000PC."
I can resolve the issue by clicking 'connect' in kstar (from right click then skysensor) - which is odd since I'm sure I was already connected.
The client kstars (log attached) from a daytime test run doesn't seem to record any errors like above.
I never noticed this before, maybe I've slipped somewhere but could somebody check? I can send skysensor logs if required.
thanks
Andrew
