Re: Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

Joe, I do not think this is an issue with Ernie’s Windows system. Since the problem is manifesting on multiple systems (mobile device, Windows 10, and a Mac) it is more likely an issue with

Re: Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

Ernie, Which “Update version” of Win-10 are you running on (perhaps # 2004 ?). With deference and due respect to Bill Long, I have recently started having “system-erased password”

Re: Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

I have had this problem too. Very intermittent and not reproducible on command. My solution is to simply cycle power on the CP4. No need to park the mount first, since the CP2/3/4/5's all have an

Re: Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

Ernie, I would be happy to talk to you about the wifi issues you are experiencing. Like Don mentions, it is a problem we have had trouble replicating here at Astro-Physics; since you have the

Re: Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

Hi Ernie, I have had this problem with my CP4 on occasion. It will disconnect in the middle of a session. If I try to reconnect, it asks for the password, but won’t accept it. The only way to

Mach2 Wifi problems #Mach2GTO #WiFi

Hello all, Absent the keypad, I've been using SkySafari6 and my iPhone as a hand controller, via WiFi, to nudge the field of view when centering objects for photography. I do this by first

Re: APCC app crash when parking mount (Mach1) - event viewer details #APCC

Hi Ray Thanks for your investigation. Correct, I tried different options to stabilize the connection to CP4 and finally settled with Ethernet. Last night, I had an 8-hour continuous session without

Re: APCC - confused with the different limits #APCC - any advice? #APCC

Hi Ray thanks for the information. I wrote here because the manual or help file didn’t help me much clarify the concepts. I’ll check YouTube as you advised. KR Rodolphe

Re: DEC ignored during PEM recording?

Ah yes, thanks, i was wrong to say on a "true EW line" .. its as you say, a true NS line .. i can nudge the star back there with E and W buttons , where it arrives depends on irrelevant (to pem)

Re: DEC ignored during PEM recording?

It may be counter-intuitive, but you want to keep the star on the N-S line. You can allow it to drift up and down on that line. Rolando

Re: DEC ignored during PEM recording?

Hi Roland, thanks for so quick response! I suggested trying "the old chip" ...by which I meant reinstalling my old GTOCP2 rather than modifying the GTOCP4 (which I would not dream of doing :-) . But

By Brian · #73079 ·

Re: DEC ignored during PEM recording?

There is no "old chip" in a CP4. There is only the microprocessor and no chips are upgraded in the CP4. Perhaps you are referring to a CP3? Rolando

DEC ignored during PEM recording?

Hi. I tried to record a new PEM for first time since upgrading to GTOCP4. During recording the North and South buttons on my keypad were disabled. As soon as the recording was finished they were

Re: APCC - confused with the different limits #APCC - any advice? #APCC

Hi Rodolphe, The intent of Homing the mount is to bring it back to a known location if the mount "became lost" because it was initialized incorrectly, recal/synced to the wrong location, or unparked

Re: APCC app crash when parking mount (Mach1) - event viewer details #APCC

Hi Rodolphe, Looking at your logs, you seem to have switched between connections a few times. For example, COM3 to COM4, to Ethernet, and back to COM4. Are you have problems with connections, or just

APCC - confused with the different limits #APCC - any advice? #APCC

Hello, Looking for advice. My basic requirement is to have SGP drive the mount and perform the meridian flip when required. I do not have a dome/roof to drive or take care of. The mount is also free
