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.
