Hi Roland.
FYI. I think the manual needs to be updated. The manual indicates that a balance offset is recommend on both axis

Re: Possible CP5 Wi-Fi module failure

From your description it does not sound like the WiFi is toast.
Call George or Howard at AP and they can assist you in connecting to your WiFi.

Re: 1100GTO, slight free play in RA axis only. Is a backstop adjustment needed?
The backstop won't adjust the free play. DON'T jam the back stop hard into position!
What does affect the free play is the retaining nut on the end of the worm. If this is loose or has backed off

Rebooting the router was the first troubleshooting step I took.
I'm using three Orbi AC3000 which provides excellent coverage throughout my house and across my property.

Wow, go to bed and lots to catch up on…
@Bill Long: Thanks for the pointers on the Model Properties. I checked the exclude boxes. Mine is actually showing 120, you said 10 or 20? Also,

>>>I run the 64bit SGP version, which plays nice with the large format ASI cameras through the ASI ASCOM driver.
I think this is a big part of it. I used my 6200mc with APPM via SGP version 4 64 bit

Re: Debugging Dec failure to move w/1200 CP3
Steve,
If the cable won’t come to the box, take the box to the cable! You have to free the CP3 from the mount and then reverse the cables…yes, the box will dangle in the air.

Re: APPM with ASI6200 and TSX Imagelink - bogus image data
Hmm interesting. I always get an error when I try to use ASCOM. I'll try it again later after a clean boot and see what happens.

Hi Bill,
Were you using a Kepler camera? There is no official FLI ASCOM Camera driver except for Kepler cameras:

It matters because many of the ASCOM

Re: Mach 2 + 12.5" AGO iDK?
Not sure if it was the idea to move to neutral balance, or the seeing here is better. The guided performance is much better in this configuration.
