My problem is that when running Ekos I can control my guide camera through the kstars INDI control panel but cannot work out how to connect PHD2 to the camera through INDI. I select INDI camera in PHD2 but keep getting a socket: connection refused.
I have tried doing this with INDI connected and disconnected from the camera but it makes no difference. A dialogue window pops up showing INDI Server, hostname: localhost, Port: 7624, with a connect button beneath.
Camera shows as Driver: empty, CCD: Guider, Port: empty.
There are no dropdown options with driver.
This is running under Raspbian with PHD2 built by me.
Regards
Paul

I'm now looking at Ekos which uses an adaptation of linguider. Also trying to work out how to run PHD2 on the desktop with the camera connected to the Pi2.
Another advantage of Indi is that you can run multiple noes. So for instance you could have the imaging cam on a different Pi from the guidecam.
I found the Ekos tutorial video at http://www.indilib.org/about/ekos/video-tutorials.html very informative |
