Re: Error in AP driver

Hi Pierre,

So it seems that the problem might be fixed by changing the keypad firmware
to write in the range -180 to 180 instead of 0-360. I think because
Pulseguide writes in the range -180 to 180 the value is retained properly
after a power cycle.

Chuck,

as the AP protocol is extending the LX200, I read back the LX200
description (http://www.meade.com/support/LX200CommandSet.pdf
<http://www.meade.com/support/LX200CommandSet.pdf> )
This indicates the presence of the sign, and that East longitudes are
negative (so -180 to 180 is the expected range).
The trace from ASCOM - and the log from PulseGuide both show a value
near 360 (but wrong: 355*50 for E 5 50).

Okay, I guess the docs just left out the sign desination.

Thanks Ray

Hi Chuck,

Negative values work just fine in the test I just did.
