Celestron 11GPS INDI not working without alignment #1

Hello,
Since you use the AUX command set, you realize only ALT/AZ values are available without a user first doing an alignment. For remote work, a friend helped me get around this, but, I would like to use KStars bleeding with my scope. The present Celestron INDI driver refuses any actions and tests for version numbers above mine. Are you willing to take a look and integrate an INDI driver which works with ALL Celestrons?

Hi!
I intend to develop the driver to support all celestron scopes with AUX port/command set. In principle this should not be very difficult after finishing the basic functionality of the driver (or even earlier). It is a matter of writing a separate communication module for each possible interface (wifi by skyqlink, aux port, aux commands tunnelled over nexstar protocol). You realise that the AUX driver requires alignment to work as well? Be warned that my driver is quite far even from the beta state. I hope to make it fully functional fairly soon but there is a lot to do still.
As for the standard Celestron Driver - it operates on quite different principles and I do not think it is possible to merge the two - if this is what you suggest.
