Agreed! I tried using the myfpascom focuser esp32 variant but found the serial connection or the driver (or something) incredibly unreliable. So decided to spend agers developing my own which wouldn't have that issue instead of debugging someone else's design - clearly a more efficient use of time (not! )

> will there be an INDI driver for those of us not using Windows?
Yes an INDI driver is definitely something I'd love to do down the line - the ASCOM driver is only a few hundred lines with most of it being fairly repetitive get/setting of various data fields so I assume INDI shouldn't be too hard.

Just a matter of setting up a linux partition and the associated indi dev tools - might have to read up on GUIs a bit more though, I'm not used to designing those on any level and the windows forms system makes it very easy to make something dodgy that works, linux migfht need more attention to detail.
