I just got myself a nice new Optec TCF-Si focuser.
Hooked it all up and tested on windows with no problems.
So next test was to use it with INDI last night.
I was using Kstars on my Windows 8.1 PC connecting to a Raspberry Pi3 running Ubuntu Mate
Got the drivers started on the Raspberry Pi - all good.
Minor issue connectinf to the TCF as I think it was initializing In due course it connected. So far so good.
Saved the config file as per the warning.
It was connected to ttyusb0 as I had forgotten to reconnect the EQ6 cable. So EQMOD at first failed then I got it connected to ttyusb1.
Next I tried the focuser module. Unfortuantely I forgot to turn on Ekos logging for that module.
Anyway it seemd to be working ok until Kstars crashed.
On estarting I could not get the TCFS driver to load. All other drivers loaded ok (EQMOD, ZWO_CCD, ASI_WHEEL)
Tried starting indiserver with just the TCFS driver and no good.
Tried to direct output to a log file but nothing produced.
There is also no INDI driver log for TCFS or even a folder - there are folders and logs for all the other drivers
Attached are the Kstars logs from Windows and the command line output from indiserver trying to start the TCFS driver
Could it be some sort of permissions problem?
