Description Erwin Zbinden 2021-08-20 19:19:20 UTC

SUMMARY
No indi drivers available after installation. No connection possible, even after installation of prolific driver. Program reports that no eqmod driver found.

Tried to install with homebrew.

(svn installed..., most recent command line tools installed...)

I did the following: brew tap indilib/indi

Then I did: brew install brew install indi-eqmod

I specified: brew install indilib/indi/indi-eqmod

Result:

Output as follows:

==> Installing indi-eqmod from indilib/indi
==> Cloning http://svn.code.sf.net/p/indi/code/trunk/3rdparty/indi-eqmod
Updating /Users/ez/Library/Caches/Homebrew/indi-eqmod--svn

Did you try to build from source?  If so, please use the DMG.  All the INDI drivers are embedded in the KStars app in the DMG along with instructions.  There is no need to install them in Homebrew.

Comment 2 Erwin Zbinden 2021-08-20 22:25:21 UTC

Hi Rob
I did install from the DMG. Did not find any drivers…
Nor did the application
I tried home-brew because nothing else worked.
Just in case I did look at the wrong place, where are they supposed to be?
Many thanks, Erwin

Comment 4 Rob 2021-08-20 23:21:17 UTC

Ok then maybe something prevented the settings from getting set right when it started up.  Please go to Preferences, INDI, and check the boxes for it to use the internal INDI drivers and INDI server.  You can also go to XPlanet and check the box for it to use the internal Xplanet.  You also can still run the startup wizard.  Please see the attached screenshots.

Comment 8 Erwin Zbinden 2021-08-26 20:48:58 UTC

Hi Rob

This worked. After a crash and a restart, I can now control the mount perfectly. Thanks a lot!

A drawback of the Mac are the few USB plugs. My experience with an USB Hub is not very convincing: PHD2 does not receive enough Signal for guiding from the guiding camera.

With the Windows box with direct connection this works without problems…

Probably I try running it on a Ubuntu box with traditional hardware …

Thanks a lot, Erwin

I think this was resolved correct?
