Some AC-DC wall converters do not have enough filtering on the 12 volt DC side. As a result, the power can become erratic during slewing, which then can reset the servo controller and the keypad. What

Congratulations Dave and Howard! An awesome image and so timely!

Howard Hedlund, our very own AP Howard, is not one to toot his own horn, so I will. He and Dave Jurasevich collaborated for yesterday’s APOD taken with our 12”f8 Mak-Cass on our 1600GTO from the

Ron, Idon't think cables get any more "robust" than A-P cables. You are screwingit down after inserting it -- correct? Butyes, it's a standard threaded DC connector. I believe it's 5.5mm

Look closely at 12V connector on CP3 and you will notice the pin is split into two halves. Very carefully insert a small blade screwdriver in between the two halves of the pin and slowly twist the pin

I'm just wondering if there is further documentation (PDF) for the CP4, other than what is said on the AP website? I'm assuming the CP4 will ship with a manual and I'd like to read up before

Ron pls check ur 12 volt socket , it might be the culprit Suresh

Ron, you'll probably get this response from lots of folks. The power connector has a split pin in it that sometimes needs to be gently spread with a screwdriver to ensure solid connection. If the

Ladies and Gentlemen, On more than one occasion I have had to leave the comfort of my rec room and go outside to investigate some unknown issue with my Mach 1. I then discover that the hand

Thanks, I will remember that. What I really was wanting to do was to transfer my location from the Version 2 Driver to the mount and then to the handpad. I may just manually put it in anyway, to

The AP hand controller and your Kindle will certainly play nicetogether as long as you don't do a GOTO on the Kindle and then try toCalibrate/Sync on the AP hand controller. The AP hand controller

Remember that in order to do a Calibrate/Sync correctly on the APhand controller you have to use the AP hand controller to perform the objectGOTO prior to the Calibrate/Sync. Doing the GOTO on

As Ijust said on the Southern Stars Yahoo Group -- I currently use BOTH my AP keypadAND SkySafari 4 PRO Android to control my Mach1 with CP3 -- at the sametime. Thereare a couple of cautions and

Hi Chris, Well, when I asked the same question over at the Southern Stars Yahoo Group, Bill Tschumy, the SkySafari developer, was unaware of the built-in WiFi capability in the new GTOCP4 control box,

SSP4 on Android seems to support four button speeds. Itdoesn't tell me what they are but they appear to be 12, 64, 600 &1200. I guess I could snoop the serial data stream and figure out for

Thanks, that is helpful, I will do that next time out. Normally I don't even use the handpad, but would like to make sure all is synced. Floyd

I think some awesome improvements for AP owners would happen to Sky Safari very quickly if AP were to give the two programmers a Mach1 each in exchange for the programming work to fully support

Or you could try Luminos: https://wobbleworks.com/luminos/ It's supposed to be able to initialize A-P mounts without A-P keypad or ASCOM driver. Unfortunately, it only works with Apple iPhone or

Actually it works as far as I have been able to test it so far. However I can see potential limitations that could be problems when changing locations. Also, Sky Safari does not offer any AP Park
