The Caterpillar can be controlled from any operating system, but it's important to note that the first configuration has to be done with the Initial motor configuration and settings application, which runs on Windows. The Caterpillar's USB Windows drivers can be found here: CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver.zip.
The Caterpillar's software package includes:
- The Initial motor configuration and settings, which as mentioned, is an application used usually just once, to set everything up according to your specific dome characteristics
- The ASCOM dome driver and ASCOM safety monitor driver
There is an INDI driver available as well. Refer to its section for more information.
