Rana, Did you install the STM32duino board manager? If you have not, the Wiki page for the S6 has the details on how to do that. You should also be using OnStep master (4.x) if you want to use STM32du

Teensy 4.1
Did you modify HAL to get it working, or you are compiling as a Teensy 3.6?

Need help with setting up EQ6-R Pro
The gear ratios for the EQ6-R Pro can be found here (see Transmission). The spreadsheet will be like this for both axes: 200, 64, 4, 18 = 25600 steps per degree Steps per worm rotation = 51200 Maximum

Need help with setting up EQ6-R Pro
There are two EQ6 conversions in the showcase page. One of them uses the MKS Gen-L V1. They are not the EQ6-R Pro though, so gear ratios and such may be different. I see that one used 1/64 microsteppi

Teensy 4.1
Is it a 4.1 or 4.0? They are different form factors. The Teensy 4.1 is long like the 3.5 and 3.6. It is not supported yet in OnStep. The Teensy 4.0 is short like the 3.2, and works in the MiniPCB.

Teensy 4.1
I think only the Teensy 4.0 has HAL support, with the MiniPCB. The 4.1 is not supported in any board yet.

That is true for version 3.16. Starting with version 4.x, the persistent connection is ON by default, so there is no need to enable it manually.

Preferred board for encoder rate control?
OnStep's encoder support is mainly for positioing, not for tracking rate control. Also, it runs on the WiFi module, not on the main microcontroller. Read more about it here https://onstep.groups.io/g/

Means there is no permission issue anymore. Let us see if picocom can talk to the same tty device.

I am in the same camp: snaps is a regression to the old ways of static linking, have a middle man acting as a broker (app store), and should be avoided ... The advocated way is what I linked to before

Ignore the "No such file or directory". It is irrelevant (for now). Change the lsof command to be: sudo lsof | grep dev/tty See if it shows something.

Wierd one: Wemos D1 Mini + MKS Gen L v.2.0 - sudden serial loss
Maybe it is a power thing? Plugging in the USB interferes with the power that the WeMos gets somehow?
