Possible change required for Ekos - by: stash

Hi,

Maybe I am doing something wrong but if I want to do he following

1. chain a RPI (Zero W in this case) which runs indiserver connecting to a local DSLR (local to RPI Zero that is)
2. Run Kstars and Synscan on another PC

I start the RPI Zero W first then I run Kstars. Then I start Ekos with my profile that defines

a.Local Host
b Synscan device - this will connect wirelessly to mount
c. a "remote as defined below Select Device in Prolfile editor" using the device name as noted in log on RPI Zero W and the RPI Zero W address
so it looks like "Canon DSLR EOS 100D"@192.168.0.137
d. Save Profile

But when I hit the "Start Indi" I get a message "Ekos requires at least one CCD or Guider to operate" and will not coninue.

If I add a CCD Simulator to my above profile Ekos starts Indi ok and connects to all the devices ok.

What have I missed ?

Do I have to start a Indiserver via the command line defining both the local Synscan and the remote RPI Zeri W on the Kstars PC then start up Kstars/Ekos ?

Assuming RPI Zero W Indiserver started ok - it would be like this on the Kstars PC

indiserver –v indi_synscan_telescope "Canon DSLR EOS 100D"@192.168.0.137

Then start Kstars/Ekos with a profile that is defined "local mode" with Synscan and DSLR selected devices and then start indi????????

Or is this not possible to get Ekos to work this way - i.e. no manual command line on the Kstars PC ?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I dont want the RPI Zero W to run both the DSLR and Syscan - in this case I know Ekos works using "Remote Mode"
