INDI Device Controller

I am looking at using the INDI module to drive my scope and camera, and wondered if there was a walk-through or tutorial on the process?

Hi,
I am working on video tutorials, but this will take some weeks since I am on vacation now ...

Please refer to the INDI website www.indilib.org for documentation how to setup an indiserver and how to use indi clients in general.

Prerequisite for any INDI usage is a running INDI server on the laptop/computer which is connected to the astronomical devices(mount, camera, filter wheel).

Then

• Use INDI Device Controller to connect to the INDI server (can be localhost if client and server are running on the same computer)
• Use INDI CCD Controller for acquisition of CCD/DSLR frames
• Use INDI Mount Controller for controlling the mount

Filter wheels (internal or external) can be controlled with the INDI CCD controller process

If you are lucky enough to be on a Mac, you can find an open source INDI server here:  http://www.cloudmakers.eu/indiserver/
