3rd Party (INDI) Mount Drivers

Obs30

The ASIair does not seem to support the 3rd party INDI drivers for mounts.

I have an Avalon StarGO2 controller, which is only fully supported via the AvalonUD (3rd party INDI) driver. It is not available on the ASIAIR. There is a poor LX200 workaround, which does not support guiding.

By chance, I recently saw the new Touptek AstroStation during an unrelated trip to Shanghai. It runs on INDI 2.0.5 and has the 3rd part INDI drivers preinstalled, including the AvalonUD drivers. I would very much appreciate, if the ASIair could provide the same drivers.

Obs30 Can you take a pic of the ports on the mount? and can ASIAIR detect the serial port when you connect?

Thank you for your reply!

The StarGO2 Pro is a recent development and does not have a serial port. It is based on a RaspberryPi4, which runs an INDI server and INDI drivers. There is a remote driver that is part of the iNDI 3rd party drivers, called AvalonUD.

The USB ports are for the Raspberry Pi4 only, and are not for a direct access to the controller. I connect to the mount via an ethernet and WiFi connection.

Obs30 What mount do you have, though?

Is it this mount? https://www.avalon-instruments.com/products-menu/mounts/m-due-stargo2-pro-detail

Yes, very similar. Same controller. I have a version without the encoder.
