Unfortunately, this is a limitation of the ASCOM-INDI bridge since INDI saves driver configuration while ASCOM drivers cannot. ASCOM-INDI bridge only provides a subset of the features offered by INDI drivers, not all. To utilize the full driver features, you need to use INDI naively, maybe on a Raspberry PI or on a Virtual Machine. You can download Ekos VM from INDI Website and run it on your Windows machine. The VM can serve as the INDI server instead of the bridge. Thanks for the confirmation. I was wondering why I had the same problem trying this on a Linux host machine as well. Now it makes sense. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 arriving in the mail tomorrow, so I will set that up as my INDI Server using Linux. Just a recommendation, install Ubuntu Mate on the Raspberry PI. This way you have access to the PPA and any updates. You can still get updates with Raspian OS, but you have to download those manually. With Ubuntu, it's a simple command to update everything. Good luck! Well timed comment, as I just prepared the SD Card with Raspbian. I will grab Ubuntu Mate instead. Thanks for the tip! |
