Dear all,
As usual, I start with thanking developer of Indi, which for me, THE opensource software I was waiting for, in order to make my dream come true : own a robotic observatory.
Although I am used to C++, I decided to go for python, as I would like to focus more on high level scientifi stuff later on.
Unfortunately, I found programming with PyIndi very difficult because of the very sparse documentation, and I found myself unable to find documentation about the various python class available.
Currently, it looks like I cannot launch an exposure on the CCD simulator because of the following error:
It looks like the super class of CCDSimulator, IndiCCD, has RA and Dec attributes, that should be set ?!
Although I am not sure to understand why, conceptually it is mandatory to know RA and Dec coordinates before perfoming a shoot, I would like to know how could I overcome this problem, for instance by setting a random value to RA/Dec.
I took a look at the Python examples here: indilib.org/support/tutorials/166-instal...on-raspberry-pi.html
And it looks like the ccd device should "snoop" for another device informations :
It is still unclear to me why the ccd_active_devices is sent to the indiclient directly, and not the ccd device itself ?
Also, what should I do If I dont have a telescope device connected through indi, for instance If I only want to use Indi to automatize ccd acquisition but not mount related stuff ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
