Hi Peter,
I like to use my nStep Rigelsys Focuser (DC motor) with my Raspberry Pi3. Camera und Mount work fine but the focuser not. I use CCDciel and failed to connect to nStep Focuser.
Please advice me for specific information to pinpoint the problem.
Hi Peter,
thank's for the fast reply. I think basic functions seems to work. I tried to connect to the NStep Focuser with Pixiinsight INDI Devicemanager. The connection seems established for 3 seconds. Then gets disconnected. Find the log files attached.
Thanks Kurt

1. first check, if /dev/ttyACM0 really exists when focuser is connected and if it does, then
2. turn debugging on (Debug -> turn Enabled on, Debug Level -> turn all on and Log Output -> turn To Log File on),
3. try again and look for /tmp/indi_nstep_focus_something.log.
Hello Peter,
1. I checked /dev/ttyACM0 after plugging the nStep Focuser it appears (see ssh_log2.txt). Also lsusb shows "Microchip Technology" what is the nStep Focuser.
2. Start indiserver -vvv => highest verbose level
3. I turned on Debug in PixInsight INDI Devicemanager (find ScreenshotIndiServer.png)
4. switch to connect in INDI Devicemanager
5. Find log file empty
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -l /tmp/
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 0 Jun 27 18:50 indi_nstep_focus_2016-06-27T16:42:33.log
I'm sorry, I have no idea why the log file is empty.
By the way, what is the difference between indi_nfocus and indi_nstep_focus?
Hope you can find some hint in the logs.
