The previous post warning about glue in the threads is right on. There is no way to prevent "gluing" the broken piece to the mount with this technique. This will only work with an exposed broken

Hi Pete, I have good nes and good news. I took one of the knobs out of my 900 and then took teh stainless screw out of the knob. The black knob appears to be aluminum and the screw has been threaded

Yes, PulseGuide. Sorry! -Ray

Hi Ray, reading back from PEMPro ? You mean PulseGuide, or ? Pierre 180, so that cycling, and driver at any can even exchanged. and 40yahoogroups.com>

Hi Pierre, Yes, PulseGuide validates the return value in the range -180 to 180, so that is why you are seeing 0's. Can you try changing Longitude from the hand controller, power cycling,

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. -Ray

This would explain why I get a longitude set to blank (for E/W) and all 0s when I retrieve the site info in PulseGuide, or ? Pierre (not

Meant "Sg"

Hi Ray, Odd, this is contrary to what the docs imply: Command: :Sg DDD*MM# or :Sg DDD*MM:SS# It does not indicate a 'sign' in front of the degrees like other commands do. So, you are sending the

FWIW, in PulseGuide I use a range of -180 to +180 for longitude (not 0-360). I wonder if the keypad sets the range 0-360? -Ray

And note that latitude is returned correctly !!! wrote: me. 005:50:00 and set in the <mail_lists2@> ASCOM- hesitate

Not a silly question at all. Yes, I: - set the correct value in the controller (it shows E 5 50) for location 1 - select location 1 - start ASCOM tracing then MaxIm - connect to the telescope (using

Hi Ajai, I believe that calculation is incorrect. It should be: 360:00:00 - 355:50:00 = 4:10:00 -Ray

Pierre, Silly question: Did you click the "Get Lat/Long" button in the setup dialog? Please start a trace just before you do and send it to me. Also please tell me what appears in the dialog

Tom, in tight (maybe use a pick and see if it moves). The easiest way I've found to extract a bolt is to use a left hand drill bit. Snap On sells a 5 piece set, just reverse your drill and usually

Look in the folder ..&#92;Program Files&#92;Common Files&#92;ASCOM for 'TraceOn.vbs'. Double click it, select yes to the msg, run the test. Double click 'TraceOff.vbs' in the same folder to stop the

Sure, but how can this done ? I see no trace check box in the setup for the driver. I suppose there is a trick. Pierre wrote: when

I think a serial trace would identify what your mount is sending when queried for the longitude. Chuck
