I've built an MFP2 board with the TMC22xx PCB. The thing works in the provided MFP2 Windows application. The motor moves.
But when I connect it to Astroberry, it doesn't. Astroberry recognizes that an MFP2 device is there. And coil power works, so it's sending power to the motor. But when I try to move the focuser via Ekos it says it has moved but the focuser hasn't moved.
2022-05-15T01:45:02: [INFO] Focuser reached requested position.
2022-05-15T01:45:01: [INFO] Focuser is moving to position 500
I don't know what to do now.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It would be pretty difficult for me to determine a cause based on two lines of a log file?
I have no idea what driver you selected or firmware in the board.
You indicate that it runs fine on Windows
I don't even know what "astroberry" is, as I personally dont use systems/os/devices other that windows. That is not an ignorant thing on my part, it only shows what I use, and not implying anything else is worse or better.
As a stab in the dark I would probably assume that you are using the INDI based myFocuserPro2 driver.
If you have access to the raspberry you could try running the Linux application (of course you would need to compile that first).
For INDI
on the Options panel
set polling to 5000
debug levels all checked
Logging levels all checked
Log output to log file
Then try again to move the motor, and if it does not move then please snd me the logs to look at
Regards
Robert
