Can you connect the two cameras via USB to the RasPi, then tell StellarMate that guiding is carried out via EKos?
I've looked into the IndiLib documentation and it says that the SA2 can be guided via the USB -> EQMOD cable. I know nothing about this, but it might be an alternative for you.
There's also 'AstroBerry' to look into. From what I have read, it contains KStars, PHD2 and EKos (amongst a lot of other software).

Thanks… I have previously auto guided the SA2 using PHD2 on a laptop so I know it’s possible …using the ST4 connection
I can connect both cameras to the Raspberry Pi and after some fiddling around and swearing, both do get connected. Haven’t got to the point where this happens every single time , think the app is buggy
Still not sure if it will guide ! Need to test under the stars to see what happens
I have just ordered another micro Sd card and will install Astroberry on it. I went with Stellarmate initially as I had thought it was a more polished implementation.
