I also use a MGBox v2 here. (Seemed a bit speedy but it seems to work fine, and there’s Ascom drivers.) MGBox v2 also does “environment” - temp and humidity which I’m told APPM can use. I

I once tried quite hard to get a StarTech Ethernet to Serial converter working to run my APCC from. After it became clear that I would never get rid of comm packets getting lost occasionally, I

Another vote for the MGBox v2. Gets you all the data you need for APCC/APPM modeling as well.

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures. You'll have to remove both covers and then you'll see the two hex bolts below the drive assembly "box." You can't miss it. -Stacey

Occasionally I receive a "FindFeeQacIndex:no free entries!" error, I don't know what it means or the cause of it. I'm usually not at the scope when the error shows up so I can't confirm where it is

Thanks, Stacey. I can confirm as Roland says that my small movement (not "slop"!!) does not interfere with tracking. However, I would like to confirm no bolts are loose. As a picture is worth a

I would definitely go with a USB/serial GPS + NMEATime2 on your computer and make sure that the Astro-Physics ASCOM driver or APCC, whichever one you use, is set to sync the CP's clock with the PC's.

Hi Mike i use MGBox v2 for my CP4, which has a lot of other features including GPS https://www.astromi.ch/product/mgbox-v2/ Another option i use is for a windows computer - i picked up a USB GPS and

Curiosity got the best of me and I thought the looseness (glad I didn't use the "s" word and irritate Roland!), was more than I wanted. What I discovered when I took the covers off was that the two

Hi I’m looking for a GPS solution that I can use with GTOCP4 or windows. Preferably something I can use with GTOCP4. My issue is that I’m so close to AZ and NM border my internet, a mobile

Thanks! That's perfect. I'll probably leave it alone for now. -Stacey

I've noticed a bit of "looseness" in the Dec axis on my Mach2. The RA axis has no loose movement at all. I assume there's an adjustment for this, I just haven't been able to find a reference.

Hello all, Here are new BETA versions of APCC Standard and Pro. Note that I said BETA! I've tested them to the best that I can, but please only download/try these if you want to try a specific

This is most definitely NOT Windows 10's fault. More likely a bios/FW caused by HP. Check for a bios update or contact their support.

My setup is semi-permanent, e.g. mount is setup on my back patio. I do not move my Losmandy FHD tripod and generally keep my mount attached. If it looks like bad winter weather is coming, I will

Dear Mark, First of all, congratulations on your new mount ! I am not the biggest Windows expert, but as far as I know you can still keep the wifi functional while having the Ethernet cable plugged

spot on - in fact it's a known "feature" for hp laptops, fix described here (bios

I use Ethernet cable connected from CP4 directly to my laptop and use WiFi to transfer captured raw images from laptop to desktop computer without issues. It sounds like it's your laptop that is
