I bet your controlling computers aren’t connected to the internet . I think I need to learn how to read logs. I need to learn if there is an entry from the mount to its position and correlate it

Like I mentioned afore, I do everything in UT in observatories. Best solution possible. -Christopher Erickson Observatory engineer Waikoloa, HI 96738 www.summitkinetics.com

Mike why not set the CP4, keypad, computer and everything else to UT ?? Fernando

The Canadian solution is more like my Losmandy GPS solution. I’ll look into that first. Question : are you using the AA battery box or is there another solution

Hi Mike, That's very interesting. It appears that Startech device uses the Eltima drivers. There might be some sort of version incompatibility. BTW, the error message means that there are too many

Thanks, Tom.

Comport conflict. The mgbox doesn't show any gps values if the comport is in use by something else nor does it return an error. Tom

Here’s another vote for the MGBox v2. It does GPS and environment very well. Side question: Has anyone noticed a conflict between the the MGBox v2 and the Pegasus Astro Ultimate PowerBox v2

Mike, In reading the other responses to your question I just realized another potential advantage to the Star-GPS I use. It doesn't need a computer or USB or a cellular connection. It's a

Mike, I don't know about the CP4 controller, but I've used two different Star-GPS units on my Mach1 with CP3. These are tiny little GPS antennas you stick somewhere where they have a view of the

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.
