Hi,

Reporting back after installing the patch, thanks for the instructions.1 telescope driver: the mount seems to connect now and can be controlled, but gives in NINA an error with time syncing with every reconnect2 focuser: this connection works without error message (but I don't own an Avalon focuser)3 switch: this gives an error, then a message that it is connected, but no switches in NINA appear, so the USB / camera / filterwheel cannot be found.

Kind regards, Filip
