Connecting Ekos with PHD2

[Shimonu]

I hear a lot of great things about PHD2 so I've been trying to get it working but it doesn't seem to want to connect properly. Perhaps I'm missing something.

So I've at least determined that Ekos is using the right port. I tried changing and got errors about connecting. What I'm seeing from in the Ekos logs though are some PHD2 JSON errors about illegal values. But they're regarding the Dome Simulator or GPS Simulator which I'm not using. So I'm not sure where that is coming from. I don't see anything about that in the PHD2 debug logs.

Example of error in Ekos

PHD2: JSON Error: illegal value

PHD2 Invalid response received: <getProperties version="1.7" device="Dome Simulator" name="DOME SHUTTER" />

If I try going to the guiding tab and pressing connect then there's just no response at all.

It looks like PHD2 is receiving commands intended for INDI server.

PHD2 should be on port 4400. Ekos profile should look something like this

Yep, that was it! I had messed it up and changed the port to the indi server. Thanks a bunch!
