To Woody's, Linwood's, and Brian's comments. I have experienced the same problem inserting the contacts into the powerpole connectors when using lighter gauge wires (16 and above). I have found that

Jeff, That is right. I am not cheap. I just can't get one. None are available. That is a better answer.

Also… fwiw.. CP4 is not available. I’m looking at upgrading a couple non-V2 CP3s, but after using a CP5 for a while, I do see some advantages of upgrading the CP3 to CP4 (for me)… e.g. built

Because I am habitually cheap, had the CP3 on my 1600 before I upgraded that to a CP4, and I think I can get by with the CP3 for a while. Furthermore, I am looking to purchase a Zambuto mirror for my

If you are using your mount for imaging & already got APCC why not get the CP4 box instead?? Fernando

Yes, when ordering finished jumpers pay attention to the wire gauge. There are jumpers being sold with smaller than 22awg . Which is why I bought a roll of 16 and 18awg and essentially the set of

Linwood, Yup, I have the same Pegasus-Astro PocketPowerBox with that 5.5mm x 2.1 input connector. And I too wish it was larger. But apparently there’s just not enough physical room for a

Linwood, If you look you can find 18 ga. cables with pre-installed 5.5 x 2.1 or 2.5mm male connectors – straight or right-angle coaxial connectors. I buy them with just the male coaxial

According to Powerwerx, the smallest ga. wire you can crimp to the smallest 15 amp PP connectors is #20. I use #18 as my minimum wire gauge. Powerwerx says the smallest 15 amp crimps are for 20ga.

Mike, I believe you have what we call is a BAD connection! My PP connections are rock solid. I can pull hard on the cables and they continue to make good contact – and of course don’t pull

I have V6.21 which is buggy and the newest version 6.29 which works perfectly with APCC and the ASCOM driver. Roland

Nick, Bryan, thank you - that's great info. This means that a simple script could parse the .PNT and output the format in either the APPM points file format or in SkySafari compatible format. Nick -

my only issues around building my own powerpole style connectors is working with very light gauge wire. I found it tricky to crimp the L connector to the end and get it inserted without damaging the

Hi Roland I have been running the current version of MaxIm DL Pro (version 6.29) since November 2. Interestingly, the last time I had this problem with the mount status not updating in MaxIm was

Thanks for the input, Linwood & Michael I use those U-clips in some applications where I seldom or never take the connectors apart, but the other connectors are plugged in and disconnected every time

>>>That is true, but only for the latest version of APCC, in my experience for all previous versions every time I activated "Send Limit with offset to SGPro" it resulted in a failed meridian
