Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
I can't speak for the software or drivers, but one thing you said rang a bell -- about it being in the Park 3 position when you are trying this.... have you tried this test looking at a star field far

Sorry I did not have logging enabled. It's the first time that I do this.
I enabled logging and created a new .zip file, attached.

Andy,
Where are you pressing the button? In the driver or a third-party application? The driver just issues the commands given to it by the client application. Note that if the scope passed through

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
Andy,
The driver just sends a rate command to the mount. The driver doesn't issue a stop after a period of time. That may be the ASCOM client doing that, or maybe the mount hit a limit.

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
One more observation: If I push north, the mount moves north. Then I release the north button and it push it again, the mount now moves south but the numbers in the driver are the same and they don't

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
BTW, it can take 3-5 seconds for the mount to spin up to full speed, so the RA/Dec changes will appear slower until the target rate is reached.

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
No... Andy, are you physically in front of the mount to verify this?
If so, and you are sure that's what happening, please run the AP V2 Log Zipper utility (it's included with the A-P driver) and zip

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
Thank you Ray, I tried 1,2, 3 and 4 degrees with both programs and the same thing happens. I see the numbers change in the driver window but the mount always moves at sidereal rate.
Could it be that

I think I'll have to get my friends to help with this. They are a lot more knowledgeable how to do hands on stuff than I do.

Re: AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
Hi Andy,
I believe that the MoveAxis rate is limited to 999x in firmware. Try using 4 degrees instead.

AP V2 driver, move axis command help.
I am having a weird issue with the AP V2 driver. Currently I use the version v5.21.01. The mount is a Mach1 GTOCP3 with the V chip and I am not using the hand controller.
This happens with both SGP

I’m trying to ‘hardwire’ the GTOCP3 to my wireless router so I don’t have to physically connect it to my NUC. The NUC connects as a LAN and can wirelessly access my focuser and run a VNC

I would actually try the opposite, putting it in the freezer so metal contracts and parts loosen...
Hope this helps.

Re: Ugghhh cross threaded CW shaft into CW shaft adapter with metal threaded sleeve
The adapter (black part) is off so it'll not be marred. The threaded sleeve is stuck onto the CW shaft. I'm worried that I'll mar the exterior threads of the sleeve while trying to get it off.
