Hello, thank you. I added $5 to fund this driver development. We are testing this new way of funding drivers. You can contribute to this fund as well.

Hi @oldman, I'm quite surprised that you've spotted my little WIP driver ☺️ . The driver it's not yet completed nor working, that's why there are no informations on how to build it on the repo itself. I had a pretty busy period, so I had to suspend the development for the past weeks. I hope to put my hands on it pretty soon. @knro , I have few questions regarding how to do some operations, can I use the INDI forum for it or there are other channels? The official chat is basically dead 😢 . As soon as the code is working, at least the basic operations, I'll submit everything for official approval ☺️ .

@Anandir sorry if I didn't reply quickly. You will have read, I am not an expert in programming, I randomly read here "https://github.com/Anandir/indi-astrofocus" then I followed the suggestion of @bluthen and open a request for a new driver. I hope for your patience, I apologize if I have created misunderstandings. Thank you all
