I are make sure there is no existing driver for my device.

Currently it works in windows with Ascom protocol, the request of the new driver is to make it work with the INDI protocol with Raspberry PI

The family - Focusers

Device communication protocol is USB

Hardware used Arduino mega 2560 Arduino Motor Shield TRINAMIC QSH4218-51-10-049 STEPPER MOTOR, 1.8DEG, 1A, 0.49NM Adafruit MCP9808 temperature control

Hello, thank you. I added $5 to fund this driver development. We are testing this new way of funding drivers. You can contribute to this fund as well.

Hi @oldman, I'm quite surprised that you've spotted my little WIP driver ☺️ . The driver it's not yet completed nor working, that's why there are no informations on how to build it on the repo itself. I had a pretty busy period, so I had to suspend the development for the past weeks. I hope to put my hands on it pretty soon. @knro , I have few questions regarding how to do some operations, can I use the INDI forum for it or there are other channels? The official chat is basically dead 😢 . As soon as the code is working, at least the basic operations, I'll submit everything for official approval ☺️ .

Thanks @knro ! As soon as I wrap my head around the problem again, I'll post all my questions on the forum ☺️ .

@Anandir sorry if I didn't reply quickly. You will have read, I am not an expert in programming, I randomly read here "https://github.com/Anandir/indi-astrofocus" then I followed the suggestion of @bluthen and open a request for a new driver. I hope for your patience, I apologize if I have created misunderstandings. Thank you all
