Hi all,
I am new to Indi and I am trying to use it to control an EQ-G mount from a raspberry pi using this cable www.telescopes-et-accessoires.fr/interfa...5-neq5-3-c2x30317625
When I try launching these commands
indiserver -v indi_eqmod_telescope
or
indiserver -v indi_synscan_telescope
I get the following output:
indiserver -v indi_eqmod_telescope
2022-06-04T20:22:40: startup: indiserver -v indi_eqmod_telescope

Quick update!
Everything works now! In addition to not understanding indi's behavior, I was missing a modprobe rule for the cable so the device file was not being created. I now managed to get it to work with Stellarium (I also had to update it to the latest version as mine was several years old BTW )
thanks again!

Thanks Jarno for your reply!
I am not sure if I understand what you mean by selecting the port via kstars.
Here is what I had understood and was planning to do. Please tell me if I was wrong and how.
I thought I would run indiserver on the rPi which is connected to the scope, tell indiserver (how?) to use a given serial port, and then connect the application to indiserver using TCP-IP (address and port).
Is that correct?
If so, how can I select the serial port on the application?
Also, I have two ports on the mount: one says hand controller, the other says auto guider. The cable I have fits the "hand controller" port.
Thanks
bye
Dave
