Hi,
After a long time "disconnected" due to work issues, I am now here again!
A simple question related to Joystick:
I already have a PS3 wireless control and I wonder if it is possible to connect it to my RPI/Stellarmate wirelessly. I understand that is it possible by cable (following your instructions) but I don't know whether I can use it without cable. As per your comments with yours (Thustmaster wireless) it seems to be possible, but please let me know how to do it.
Thanks!

Hi all!
This is my gear... and my story...
I've been fighting against SM on RPI for months. Maybe that I am not a Linux expert, maybe delays on receiving some items, maybe some of them were too n"ew fashioned", maybe I had not enough time to dedicate to it...
Jasem has been an excellent support for me (I hope that he wants continue being it...) despite the fact that I was about to resign more than once...
But here I am and this is my gear. Up and running (almost). And this has been my experience...
First, a picture:
Rishi,
Thanks a lot for the clarification! I have been very busy these past days and probably has been a misunderstanding by my side...
Anyway, good job! Focuser is working pretty fine and consistently, without any overheating...
Thanks again,
Paco L.

@Rishi:
Are you sure that temperature issue has been solved in version 1.3? Mine is still not working the right way... SentoSenso read the temperature when started but nothing changes if I heat it with my hands (to test).
Thanks!

You’re more than right..

Hi,
As far as I know, you can run an INDI Server on Windows...
indilib.org/forum/general/1284-indi-server-for-windows.html
I tried to make it works without success by the way... I only use Windows in a Surface tablet/laptop to control my Stellarmate RPI using RealVNC.
However I think that Windows will not any advantage over Linux or Mac as INDI/Ekos/Kstars is optimized for those operating systems.

Hi again,
By the way, maybe could be a good idea add refocus feature based on temperature changes. I have at least two sensor in my gear: the one from Sesto Senso and the one from PPB from Pegasus Software...
Also some "temperature offset calibration" would be helpful to unify all temperature readings from the sensors...
Thanks

Hi all,
I opened a case directly with Primalucelab and they say that hold current should be 5 mA or 10 mA at maximum. I have tested my SestoSenso with 15 mA and overheating disappeared.
Regarding temperature sensors, I've tried the one that Pegasus Software supplied with its Dual Motor Focuser Controller (DMFC) that I want to use with my Meade #1209 Zero Shift Microfocuser. It works fine with Sesto Senso but as described (read once only). It's curious, but starting temperature was 23.18 degrees.. the same obtained by NH... Coincidence??
I also tried with a similar sensor purchased from AliExpress for a couple of euros. They Don't work neither in Sesto Senso nor DMFC. I asked to Pegasus Software about 2.5mm jack pinout and they said that this kind of cheap sensors won't work with DMFC and only will work with the original one that costs 18€. Cheap if compared with the 45€ worth for Sesto Senso original sensor.
If someone is able to make work this kind of cheap sensors, please advise.
I will open a different thread with my DMFC issues. Jasem is working in that, but I have no news yet.
Thanks!

Thanks again Rishi!
I had that Hold parameter set to Medium/24 and I changed it to Medium/15. I have a Zwo OAG, ASI290MC, SX filter wheel and QHY183M in my train so I think that this would be a medium gear.. am I right?
It seems that now is working right without any overheating . I put the temperature probe stuck to the focuser case and is not detecting any temperature raise...
The problem now is exactly that: the temperature sensor is not read by INDI driver. Only is read when you start the drivers and connect the gear, but temperature doesn't change. I tried to keep the sensor in my hands a couple of minutes to warm it and driver is stiil at its initial read. Then I disconnected and stop the driver and restart and reconnect and at this moment the sensor read the temperature increment.
it seems that the driver (or the focuser itself) is not reading (polling) or sending any temperature data no more than at starting time.
Someone has experienced the same?
Thanks
Paco L.
