4 years ago Hi Georg, Almost yes. The main difference is that I am not working with a remote INDIGO Server but with one installed on the very same machine. I can also add that the connection works if the target mount is the INDIGO Server mount simulator.
Cheers Gaetano

4 years ago Hi,
It looks to me that you did not configure the driver correctly. You have to specify the device port. Where the punt is connected physically. Mounts are not true USB devices they use usb to serial converters and therefore they are seen as serial devices although they use USB wires... It is the same with many focusers, filter wheels etc... So INDIGO and any other software can not tell what is connected to this converter and unfortunately the user should know... That is why the user should provide this information to the driver.
On this picture you can see where to specify it -> "Serial Port", if there are any serial ports the list below will show it, however I made this screenshot on a Virtual machine and I have no serial ports available, that is why the property is shown in red. Optionally for the LX200 driver you can specify which LX200 dialect the driver should speak as different manufacturers tend to provide a bit different functionality.
Please let us know if this worked!

4 years ago Hi Rumen, thank you for your kind answer. Please consider that the connection between INDIGO Server and the mount works fine as I am able to use AstroTelescope without any problem. As said, when I try to connect Stellarium to INDIGO Server I get the Connecting issue. Actually, right after pushing the connect button, the status label goes to Connected for about half a second and then changes to Connecting again.
Afterwards, I can close Stellarium, open AstroTelescope again, connect it to the resident INDIGO Server and it move the mount.
I hope there is a way to fix it, I am currently using SkySafari Pro but I really would like to swap it for a better planetarium.
Cheers Gaetano

Are you sure you are not using the built in AstroTelescope INDIGO drivers but you are using the INDIGO server ones? Can you start the indigo control panel in parallel with stellarium and see what is the state of "Connection status" while stellarium says "connected".

As I wrote in my first description of the problem, I am running Stellarium and INDIGO Server (IS) on the same machine, Gatekeeper is not active. I am reasonably confident that I am contacting IS and not AT, I also trie without launching AT at all.
Maybe it can be useful to attach these two screenshots that show you the status of IS and Stellarium during a connection attempt.

Hi Rumen, Just a couple of notes:
- My mount is an Avalon Linear. Avalon uses a dialect of LX200 which is generally compatible with most of the generic LX200 implementations. There are some exceptions that are documented in a dedicated specification.
- AstroTelescope works fine using the LX200 Classic driver, I never had any issue in the connection phase but I know that Peter (Polakovic) had to make some little changes to provide some of the extensions of the protocol
- If I use the mount emulator provided by INDIGO Server the connection works
- I see you are running version 0.19.3.17636 but on this page https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/tag/beta https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/tag/beta I can only find the 0.9.3.17629 package

4 years ago Hi, I am pretty aware of the Indigo development :) Peter and I started Indigo project several years ago :)
Anyway, it would be nice if you provide us with detailed Indigo server log. To do so start Indigo server, go to "Indigo server -> preferences - > Indigo - > log level" and select "trace" . Then make a single attempt to connect from stellarium. Then save the log from "control-> save log" and send it here.

4 years ago Hi Rumen, indeed this is the evidence, the dialog between INDIGO Server and the mount is all fine and the mount is correctly operational. The problem is between Stellarium and INDIGO Server as Stellarium doesn't report the mount as connected and doesn't allow any slew. You analysis confirms my experience so, to me, the investigation should be performed within Stellarium to understand why it is unable to detect the correct connection status.
Thank you for your support and your kindness Gaetano

4 years ago Hi, one more update to this issue, due to a bizarre scenario. Now, suppose to:
In some ways AstroTelescope makes Stellarium able to slew, stop AstroTelescope and Stellarium stops working.
I hope this helps
gaevoc
commented
4 years ago Hi all, the missing slew may be due to Stellarium not handling correctly the mount parking status. To recap, after setting up the chain Stellarium - INDIGO Server - Avalon mount, you can connect and move the mount only manually, using the arrow buttons, no go-to an object. In the INDIGO server panel the mount is shown as "unparked". Now, if you park and unpark the mount using the INDIGO server panel, the slew command from Stellarium works again.
Hope this helps a bit in investigation about this integration
gaevoc
commented
4 years ago Hi, Quick update on this topic. The current available beta 0.19.3.17695 of Stellarium improves the overall behavior towards an Avalon mount, it is now possible to connect to the mount and to slew it correctly. I will perform some more tests and report here.
