[Hamlib-developer] How to get iOptron mount working with Gpredict

[pd2ch 2. <mai...@gm...>]

Hi,
I tried a lot a was reading as much as possible on the net how to connect
my iOptron AZpro mount to Gpredict.
Running Lubuntu with Hamlib and Gpredict installed.
When I run this cmd I get the following message:

In Gpredict I see a error popping up when I engage the rotator. The mount
is connected via a usb serial cable to my laptop. (wifi is also 'on' on the
mount, but now idea how to set this connection up.)

Any help or advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance,

Kees.
