Conversation
Documentation for the indi_scopelink driver, submitted to indi-3rdparty as pull request 1371 and moved here at the maintainers' request. The driver publishes one device carrying the focuser, dust cap, light box and auxiliary interfaces, so the page is listed in all four categories.

Documentation for the ScopeLink telescope controller from Astrolabs, driver
indi_scopelink.Requested by @knro on indilib/indi-3rdparty#1371, where the driver is under
review; the page was written as that submission's
doc/index.mdand is removed from the driver tree inthe same round.
What is here
focusersis the primary category because that is the driver'sdevGroupinindi_scopelink.xml. Thepage is listed under dust caps, light boxes and auxiliaries as well: the driver publishes a single device
that claims
FOCUSER_INTERFACE,LIGHTBOX_INTERFACEandAUX_INTERFACE, addingDUSTCAP_INTERFACEonce the front flap's travel is calibrated. Happy to trim that list if fewer is preferred.
The page covers installation, connecting, every tab of the control panel with a screenshot taken from the
real generation 3 controller, the driver's simulation mode, troubleshooting and what to include in a bug
report.
Notes
magick x.png -define webp:lossless=true x.webp) — pixel-exact andabout half the size of the PNGs they came from, which matters for screenshots full of small text.
npm run buildbefore submitting: the page and all eleven images render, and theAstrolabs card appears on the Focusers, Dust Caps, Light Boxes and Auxiliaries listings.
