Recent versions of the MCMTII (starting from 2011), which have undergone a few evolutions since MCMTII has been described on the website, only work with Windows and the non-free PRISM software in versions 7 or above, or the Ascom driver. The purpose of this project is to provide resources that will enable the MCMTII to be controlled by free software on other operating systems. There are two ways: developing a driver for the official motor unit, or developing a new protocol for the motor unit. This project aims for the first, with the creation of an INDI driver, the other way is explored by this project. They have both stopped activity before reaching a full working state, but were not far from it.
