I compiled and installed the Adafruit Motor HAT driver. So far so good. I run the Raspberry Pi as remote INDI server. I run the KStars/Ekos client on Windows 10 on my desktop. But the "Motor HAT Focuser" is not showing in the list of focusers in the KStars Profile Editor, so I can not add it to my profile.
I checked that the .xml file is in the /usr/share/indi folder and it is.

Any suggestions?

Place the executable in /usr/bin, not in /usr/local/bin

Thanks for that suggestion Ihoujin.
I moved the file, but it still does not show in the profile editor. (see attachment)
When i open the Web Manager in my browser, the Motor HAT Focuser does show in the drivers select box in the focuser group and is select-able.

I installed KStars/Ekos also on the Raspberry PI itself, but the result is the same.

Lost this battle, but hope to win the war.

It works over webmanager because the xml file does exist on the machine the webmanager is running on.
But it doesn't exist on the macine you are running KStars/Ekos on. Probably you need to copy it to your windows machine. Just find the place where all the other driver's xml files are, and copy it there.

Apologies for double post. My first post didn't appear and I wasn't sure why. I noticed after the second post that my posts were being moderated before being posted.

This driver uses submodules, which are downloaded to /home/steve/astroberry-amh/build/libs/AdafruitStepperMotorHAT_CPP
Just delete the /home/steve/astroberry-amh/build/libs directory and rerun make install

Victory! Thanks again. Not smart enough, yet, to understand why it worked but it did :)
