Celestron AUX errors

[knro]

Driver on MacOS fails to communicate properly with Celestron Nexstar Evolution via WiFi.

Complete log is attached.

Initial handshake appears to be going fine, but then it starts failing to parse packets:

@fabriziop @jochym Any ideas on what might be causing this? Any requirements for minimum firmware for example? I recall connecting to another evolution mount a couple of months ago without any issues.

@fabriziop @jochym completely unrelated, but there is a thread on INDI forum that involves this driver and perhaps requires your input (I have very little knowledge of the details).

I looked at the code: that error may happen for serial connection to HC only. So, it seems that the driver failed to detect the WiFi connection. Since I have only wired connections, that part was developed by Jochym. If you can give the connection log of Kstars INDI control panel of the driver, perhaps I can go deeper.

Thanks for the information. I'll contribute to the thread.
