Stellarmate issues/Upgrades #12

Open XaviMPCD02 opened 2 weeks ago

XaviMPCD02 commented 2 weeks ago

Hi again Lucas

It seems Astroberry is no longer updated so I have switched to Stellarmate...

In the options tab I have a label "Capture Device > Telescope". When I set the mount driver (EqMod) in that line, I was able to read the Step size and Critical Focus Zone in the first tab ("Main Control"). But the Eqmod Driver has no longer any information about the optical train, so I tried another driver that has that information, but the Astrolink4Pi driver can't read it. Maybe it is better to fill that information manually?

Also, I'd like to ask about the "System" tab: there is a line labeled "Load (1/5/15 min.) but I can't figure out how to read it because only the center digit is changing (0/17/0, 0/25/0, etc.).

Thank you! Xavier

Hi Xavier,

Thank you for that report - I also noticed it and have it on my list. It should be fixed within 1-2 weeks.

As for the Load field - these values are read from the system variable that reports the average CPU load over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. It used to work correctly, but I will take a closer look - maybe something changed in RPi5.
