Power*Star-Focus

INDI driver for Greg's PowerStar Focuser, also known as FeatherTouch PowerStar

This is one of three INDI drivers (Focuser, Power, Weather)

REQUIRES: INDI-core

CONTENTS:

  • INDI driver and xml files
    • Only the focus functions are implemented in this driver
  • TUI (text user interface) called 'pstui'
    • This allows complete manual control from a terminal window of all functions and capabilities

INSTALLING: In a work directory of your choosing on the RPI or (linux) system that the Power*Star is plugged into:

git clone https://github.com/sifank/PowerStarFocus.git

Binary files for the Raspberry Pi are included: cd PowerStarFocus sudo make install

To compile from scratch: cd PowerStarFocus; make clean; make sudo make install

NOTES:

  • If it can not find it's config file, it will tell you rerun the TUI as root
  • Run pstui first to setup focus motor, power options, etc.
  • Initial configuration is set for a Unipolar motor, if you have a bipolar motor or not sure of your Unipolar, then do not connect it to your focus motor until after to run the TUI to set it up.
