Mount ASIAIR SD card in Raspbian

• Insert the ASIAIR SD card into the card reader and connect to your Raspberry Pi3

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# cd /mnt

root@raspberrypi:/mnt# ls

Edit start_INDI.sh script

• now edit start_INDI.sh use vi or nano text editor

#!/bin/bash

# $1=indi_lx200zeq25

if [ $# == 0 ];then
        echo "no argument"
        exit 1
fi

echo "driver:$1"

server_running=$(ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep indiserver|grep $1|awk '{print $2}')

if [ ! -z $server_running ];then
echo "server is already running"
exit 0
fi

killall -9 indiserver
indiserver $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &

cnt=0
while [ $cnt -lt 50 ]
do
        indi_running=$(netstat -lp|grep -w indiserver|awk '{print $1}')
        if [ ! -z $indi_running ];then
        echo "indi is running"
        break
        fi
        sleep 0.05
        cnt=$[$cnt+1]
done

Modify line 20:
indiserver $1 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
to
indiserver $1 indi_skysafari > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Final version on this script is:

#!/bin/bash

# $1=indi_lx200zeq25

if [ $# == 0 ];then
        echo "no argument"
        exit 1
fi

echo "driver:$1"

server_running=$(ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep indiserver|grep $1|awk '{print $2}')

if [ ! -z $server_running ];then
echo "server is already running"
exit 0
fi

killall -9 indiserver
indiserver $1 indi_skysafari > /dev/null 2>&1 &

cnt=0
while [ $cnt -lt 50 ]
do
        indi_running=$(netstat -lp|grep -w indiserver|awk '{print $1}')
        if [ ! -z $indi_running ];then
        echo "indi is running"
        break
        fi
        sleep 0.05
        cnt=$[$cnt+1]
done

• unmout ASIARI SD card and swich off your Raspberry

root@raspberrypi:/mnt/ASIAIR/bin# cd /
root@raspberrypi:/# sync
root@raspberrypi:/# umount /mnt
root@raspberrypi:/# halt

• remove raspbian SD card and insert modify ASIAIR SD card to your Raspberry
• connect your ASIAIR to EQmod compatible mount use EQDirect USB cable (my DIY is here) or SynScan WiFi adapter

Connectig to EQmod in ASIAIR App

Use EQDirect cable

SynScan Wifi Adapter
