Kstars/Ekos/Stellarmate & my Rpi4 I have been mutually respective adversaries for a year now, since Lockdown#1.
(We're up to #6 now, I'm in Melbourne, Australia)
Despite various crashes & bugs, overall it's been pretty awesome using automation & most of the issues were caused by user error ie: mine!
After the latest upgrade to SM 1:5:9, I couldn't get plate solving to work. Many wasted nights later I reached out to Jasem (the software developer) in Kuwait.
He solved them personally by team viewer last night!
Seems I was missing two critical index files that I hadn't downloaded, which for reasons of size, weren't included in the system upgrade.
Jasem patiently worked it though & tested it all with me for 2-3 hours, at no charge.
All fixed & working beautifully again now, I'm a happy guy - how's that for service? 😇
I've just purchased and flash mirrored a second, Micro SD card with all these correct settings for backup and peace of mind! 😀
