Ekos defaults to bin 1x1 for 294MM, change default?

[Shimonu]

Is there a way to set some default values for the camera in Ekos? Right now I seem to have an issue where if I forget to set the camera to bin 2x2 then the capture will fail without any helpful error message. It's very frustrating as well as the gain and offset never having a default value, just "--". The download location is also always locally while I want it remotely.

This camera is new to me so I'll probably learn with time but I also want to save time and not have to set this up each session.

Hi

Set the values you want -2x2, local or WHY- then in the INDI control panel for the 294, hit:

options -> save

Cheers

Not having much luck I'm afraid. I think this is because I'm running a remote computer physically on the rig which I connect to with my laptop and the settings aren't getting saved there. I tried playing around with the Upload settings in the INDI control panel but it doesn't seem to have much effect. The terminology is also getting me a little confused, "locally", "client", "remote" with respect to which computer are we talking?

To simplify things for now, run kstars on the Nuc and connect to it via vnc. It is then is then always local.

Make sure that you have specified a folder which exists on your Nuc of course;)

If possible I'd really like to stick with the existing solution, I like the way it currently works and it feels like a good method as long as I can get this little thing figured out. But it's certainly an alternative if this doesn't work out.

Appreciate the help!
