Ouch! That's the power adapter that came with the mount. I will see if I can find another one. -- Homepage: http://www.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/~whwang/ Astrobin

I also purchased the BUBM series of soft sided cases from Amazon after Tony's (Harley Davidson- aka starastronomer on YouTube) review video. What came to be hard was labeling the cases as there's no

Hi Wei-Hao, The mount is seeing many intermittent "Low Power" issues. I counted 17 in the logs you sent me.

Hi Ray, This is the link to the zipped APCC log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nj83ukryf49r9a8/ApccZip-Academia_Sinica-2021-01-04-104109.zip?dl=0 I had updated the timeout and crosshair update rate

Hi David, That means there was an error parsing the response from the device. It could be that the data received was corrupted, or in an unrecognized format. If the error persists, it could be

I like the gearbox noise! Don Anderson I think you are mixing apples and oranges. Massive heatsinks are not required on our CP controllers. Microstepper servos need current to hold

Great and informative explanations Roland and thanks. Jeff

All, I am trying to connect a U-Blox7 GPS to v1.8.8.0 of APCC and I get this error message: UpdateLocation. Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: Length. The

Oh, and one more thing, at normal tracking, the current consumption is 0.7 amps at 24 volts, so just under 17 watts being sent to the CP controller, of which most goes directly to the motors and

I think you are mixing apples and oranges. Massive heatsinks are not required on our CP controllers. Microstepper servos need current to hold position, otherwise the rotor falls back to one of the

Also curious about a hanging case for the CP4. I have the mounting bracket but liked the flexibility of the hanging case for the CP3 before upgrading to the CP4. Speaking of suggested bags, thanks

Kinda sounds like true class A power amplifier operation in my Hi-Fi hobby. The output devices are always "on", at full current. They run at their hottest with no signal and need a ton of heat sinks

On the CP5 controllers I would advise against putting them inside a cloth bag. The CP3 and CP4 are ok because they do not produce very much current for the two servo motors under normal tracking

With the mounting bracket, you only have to losen two thumb screws and tip the unit forward to remove it, and the opposite to install it into the bracket. It’s quite quick to do and doesn’t

Thank you, Allen. I did not know that the communication was Telnet based. It works with port #23.

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded from a CP3 to a CP4 for my Mach1. The only thing I miss about the CP3 is the neat hanging case, which made it easy to "grab and go" and allowed me to hang the

Eckhard, You did not mention what port setting you selected. The port setting needs to be set to #23, Also there are several people that have commented, sky safari can be connected in the

Yesterday I wanted to use the Mach2 for some observations. I connected the GTOCP5 to an Ethernet hub and fired up SkySafari Pro6 on my Mac. I configured the telescope as “Astro-Physics GTO”,

Ray, you are the man! That worked like a charm. It's as if you wrote this program or something :) Thank you, Luca
