Hello,
We have HEQ5 pro. There are problems with slew through the indi server. I'm testing now in Kstar, and I'll work through indi-client using Python scripts for remote control of the telescope.
Now there are difficulties at the very beginning of the work: I'm trying to set up the HEQ5 in the room so that it is placed at least roughly in the right area.
Problems arise because of the fact that it periodically swaps the top and bottom of the telescope tube, and also, sometimes it goes beyond the horizon. I set it manually to a certain position in the direction of the polar star (especially angle from the horizon), I set this position as parking, and synchronize in Kstar with polar star. The alignment mode is set to "N-star". Then I try to slew at some star, but it goes to the other side of the hemisphere or something like that.
I understand that I probably have some incorrect settings for HEQ5. I'm a beginner and do not really understand what different settings are responsible for. For example, what means "reverse DEC" or "enforce counter-weight up" (I leave default). In Ascom, it slews all right, but I need to control it from ubuntu.
Could someone share their settings file for indi server here? Or maybe give a couple of links or some tips for me to find some info that will help me solve this problem.
