o INDI Hub: Share your observatory on indihub.space in one of these
modes: Solo, Share, or Robotic (Experimental).
o Device Selection: Select your devices from each category. Please note
that if you have a CCD with a guide head, you can leave the guider
drop-down menu blank as Ekos will auto-detect the guide head from
the CCD camera. Similarly, if your CCD includes embedded filter wheel
support, then you do not need to specify the filter wheel device in the
filter drop-down menu.
o Telescope Selection: Select your primary and secondary telescopes. You
can enter your telescope's information as well as your eyepiece, lens
and filter. This is important to ensure that the image being captured is
not blurry.
Start & Stop INDI
Start and Stop INDI services. Once INDI server is established, INDI Control Panel
will be displayed. Here you can change some driver options such as which port
the device is connected to etc.
Connect & Disconnect Devices
Connect to INDI server. Based on the devices connected, Ekos modules (CCD,
Focus, Guide, etc.) will be established and available to use.
Once you are ready, click Start INDI to establish INDI server and connection to
your equipment. Ekos shall create the various module icons (Mount, Capture,
Focus, etc.) as the connection is established with the device.
Logs
Logging is a very important tool in order to diagnose any issues with either INDI
drivers or Ekos. Before submitting any support request, the log must be attached
in order to help diagnose the exact issue. Depending on the exact problem, you
may need to enable logging for the feature or drivers that exhibit issues. Enabling
logging for everything is not recommended as it will produce too much data that
would be useful to diagnose the issue and could result in missing the root cause
all other. So only enable the necessary logs.
The following short video explains how to use the Logging feature to submit logs.
