Skywatcher EQ6 mount custom gear INDI driver

[Astrofriend]

Hi,

I have an EQ6 mount with timing belt drive, it doesn't follow the standard gear ratio. It wasn't a problem with Windows and ASCOM drivers. But when I changed to Linux and INDI driver I got problem.

I had to do some modifications to my INDI EQMOD driver to let it accept custom gear ratio. Difficult but with help from a friend I could managed it. I have written down how I did it, these instruction can be used for other INDI drivers too.

Here it is:

Hope it can be of some help.
