Hello,
I have been using a custom-developed Python GUI running on Raspberry Pi that allowed me to toggle some GPIOs (dew heaters activation, dust cap servo for taking darks, triggering the DSLR through the 2.5mm jack).
Now that I have been getting my feet wet at KStars and Ekos, I was looking for some functionality to trigger my dust cap after the lights plan but I can't seem to find it. Am I missing it somewhere? I tried the WiringPi driver but it looks like there is no automation between it and the scheduler.
Also, is there any option to shutdown guiding and sidereal tracking after the lights plan has been successfully finished?
Thanks!

Found it but I cannot set the GPIO that the "Dust Cover" option will trigger. Am I missing something?

Hi and thanks!
I mean that I need to trigger that dustcap (or any GPIO, it really does not matter) on a specific moment. For example, if I set up a plan of 100 subframes and instruct Ekos to trigger the cap after the 80th subframe, I will end up with 80 lights and 20 darks.
I have been searching for a simple driver that will show my WiringPi servo as a filter, but no luck finding something.
Any ideas?
Cheers!
