Mine works very well so far - I don't see any error coming up in INDI - I'll see if I can reproduce your error. To get the web interface in English you'll need to reflash the firmware on the ESP32. The absolute best place to get support on this board is either the vendor or:

I have the same kit. How has it gone for you?

I don't have experience with onstep but thought this a cheap way to put my old cg5 to some use. It turned out to be difficult with two problems:

a persistent error message coming up in the Indi control panel - I use kstars - relating to focussing (which I don't have a profile for as I don't use it) but doesn't appear to impede operation, and

the mount will only slew about 10 degrees in RA and DEC before stopping. pressing move will start it again for another 10 degrees or so.

Oh, and the web interface is in mandarin! I notice your's isn't I think (resolution is low).

cheers

Andrew
