I have the following: pi@indiserver:~ $ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:2d:bd:b2 inet6 addr: fe80::1c7f:22a8:3643:ebe2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1 RX bytes:14712 (14.3 KiB) TX bytes:14712 (14.3 KiB) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:27:eb:78:e8:e7 inet addr:192.168.1.95 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::fcb6:1f2b:7869:f2e4/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:623 errors:0 dropped:195 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:359 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:75719 (73.9 KiB) TX bytes:58798 (57.4 KiB) pi@indiserver:~ $ sudo cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev update_config=1 country=GB network={ ssid="ssssssss" psk="pppppppp" key_mgmt=WPA-PSK } pi@indiserver:~ $ sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) # Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd # For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf' # Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet manual allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf allow-hotplug wlan1 iface wlan1 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf I have used the advanced config in my Homehub to tie the RPi IP address to the same address every time. Not foolproof but I haven't tried setting up a static address yet.

Still cant get the ASI120MC working via Indi. I have doubled the usb current to 1.2A but no luck.

Yes, nothing else to change to get it working. If you are 100% sure it is connected up ok then it could be the HC05. I know there are lots of different types out there and a lot of variation. Also my sketch will only work if the device is initially setup as a slave. A brand new one should be by default. I can only suggest swapping out various components (nano, hc05, transistor etc) one at a time to try to isolate the issue. These are the pages I got most of my ideas from if you want to test the HC05 separately: http://phillipecantin.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/hc-05-bluetooth-link-with-zero-code.html http://www.martyncurrey.com/arduino-with-hc-05-bluetooth-module-at-mode/ Can you post some shots of both sides of the HC05 so I can see if it is similar to mine. Thanks. Has anyone else added a HC05 to the focuser following my schematic & sketch?
-
Are you using the v2.5.0 version of the sketch?
-
The Ticks setting in the autofocus part is the initial ticks to use when autofocusing . Hover over the control labels to get a description.
-
Thats what I meant really - the way you are doing it. There must be an issue with the 120MC and the driver as your camera is ok with it. When I press Preview it starts doing something then just hangs. The camera should be ok but I'll test it on my PC tomorrow to double check.
-
Can you get an image via the 'Preview' button in Ekos, running on a separate machine?
-
Is the aim to reduce or increase the speed of the usb2 connection? There is an option in the /boot/config.txt to double the usb current to 1.2A. I'll try that tomorrow.
-
How do I modify it from command line? Thanks.
-
I tried getting my venerable ZWO ASI120MC working with the RPi3. It is recognised by indiserver and Ekos connects no problem. I can't get a preview image to come across though. It just hangs. Maybe it needs to be connected via a powered hub. I also tried a normal webcam with the indi_v4l_ccd driver and that produces an image ok.
-
Hurrah!
-
I haven't connected anything to the MS1,2 & 3 pins - don't know if that would affect the driver's behaviour or not. Measuring with the DVM they are all pulled low internally. Or the ENA pin.
-
My PSU reports about 230mA current draw on the 12V supply when the motor is moving continuously.
-
Sorry for delay. I measure 316mV on the pot.
-
I have kept the 12V motor voltage GND separated from the RPi power GND. Both come from a dual bench PSU with floating outputs. Probably not relevant.
-
I just rotated the pot clockwise from minimum until I got a good strong rotation. Very unscientific
-
Is the 12V definitely getting to the driver pins?
-
That had crossed my mind. Also check that the GND rails on both sides of the board are indeed connected. Are the 4 motor pins 1A,1B,2A,2B connected correctly (they look ok to me) and are they pulsing at all?
-
Ok, I wasn't sure from the photo which rail it went to. I can't see any problems with the wiring at all.
-
Have you got the RESET pin pulled high? I missed that and it didnt do anything until I fixed it.
-
I wish I'd put mine that way round now. It makes the GPIO wiring shorter. Are you using 5V for Vdd? I used 3.3V as it should work on 3V to 5V. Makes no odds really I suppose.
-
Maybe the designer expects auto-focussing to be the normal use.
-
There is a Ticks setting in the autofocus settings (set to 100 by default) but I couldn't find where to set it for manual operation either.
-
I got that sometimes but it found stars now & again.
-
If you have the ccd simulator running it uses a fake image for the auto-focus.
