HOWTO Enable SkySafari in ASIAIR with EQMod mount

Enable indi_skysafari diriver - Modify ASIAIR SD card

Install Raspbian

First, backup your ASIAIR SD card !!! Recommend use Win32DiskImager.exe
Install Raspbian Buster Lite on another SD card to download here
Insert the Rasbinan SD card into the Raspberry Pi3 and switch power on
Connect to Rasbina use hdmi display or TV and USB keyboard

Mount ASIAIR SD card in Raspbian

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

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

Search and 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"

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
