Debug log

The problem appears to be that EKOS (IndiLib) is not reading the information
from the HEM15 correctly and this is keeping EKOS from working correctly with
the mount. Here are a couple of samples from the debug log:

 "[ERROR] bool IOPv3::Driver::getCoords(double *, double *, IOP_PIER_STATE *,
IOP_CW_STATE *): Expected 20 bytes but received 23. "
[2024-10-18T14:04:48.523 EDT DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - iOptron
HEM15 :

 "[ERROR] bool IOPv3::Driver::getCoords(double *, double *, IOP_PIER_STATE *,
IOP_CW_STATE *): Expected 20 bytes but received 18. "
[2024-10-18T14:04:49.524 EDT DEBG ][           org.kde.kstars.indi] - iOptron
HEM15 : 

I have attached the debug log below this.



Equipment:

iOptron HEM15 mount with iOptron 8409 V2 handset controller with firmware: 

HC:  230420
RA:  240510
Dec: 240510


MacBook Pro (2017 Intel processor)

macOS 13.6.9 (Ventura)
KStars version 3.7.3


I believe this problem is due to a bug in IndiLib <-> EKOS because I have
iOptron's Commander Lite on my cell phone. The Commander Lite app and the
handset controller "play well together" as the saying goes. Any action taken on
the handset is updated on the cell phone app and vice-versa. Location, pointing
direction, slewing to targets, and slewing speed, tracking information, etc.
etc.

Additionally, the tech service at iOptron (USA) recently performed a "tune-up"
on the mount and said it is in good working order.

Thank you for your help.

Jerry

p.s. I may be able to add screen shots of the various EKOS tabs if that helps.
