It sounds like you really ought to contact Astromi for support on this then.

With device management open I see comport(4)QSI comport(3)-focuser After connecting MBoxV2 a second comport(3) appears. When that happens neither the focuser or the Box connects. Thank you

A unique COM port is assigned by Windows automatically. You pin devices to particular COM ports if you want their device ID to stay on it and not move around. One does not need to manually allocate

I've had this problem and went into the devices software and assigned it a higher comm port that was not in use. Then in windows go to device manager and advance options on that comm port and assign

It sounds to me like you need to go into each program that uses these devices, and choose a COM port that's actually been allocated to each one. Windows assigns port numbers, but in your software you

This is a bit impossible. Windows allocates COM ports on per-device basis. How are you ascertaining that both are on the same COM port?

Hello, Recently, I purchased Astromi's MBoxV2. The device displays temp, pressure, humidity, dew point, latitude and longtitude. My equipment is AP Mach1 GTO4 mount running on APCCPro. My problem is

There is no reason to take out any play in RA. That axis is always running in one direction and is never reversed, so play or backlash is not an issue. It doesn't come into play at all during tracking

I was having superb performance over the last year. Total RMS guiding down around .24 - .32 I had some time away while swapping scopes from V1 RASA 11 to a V2 RASA 11. (very similar) V2 seems

Ok. I should be middle aged by then! Don Anderson

Don, No. You will be fine. Change them in about another 150 years. <G> Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone: 815-282-1513 Email: george@...

Hello George I have never changed the plugs on my 2009 AP900GOTO. They seem to be working well at this point. Should I change them out because of age? Do they get brittle with time? Cheers Don

Greg, I can assist you if necessary. Only replace plugs if it is truly necessary. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone: 815-282-1513 Email: george@...

Are there any written instructions on how to do such a disassembly ? Just in case we find it’s necessary.

Hi, I had to replace all the clutch plugs on my AP-900 and it was a bear of a task, almost unbearable, even with AP’s special plug removal tool. It was only possible thanks to George and his

Good to know , I have been believing that they were the same construct as the older 900 TJF Work Thinkpad

We don't use plugs in the 1100/1600/Mach1. These mounts have completely different clutch design. There is nothing to wear out on these mounts. Rolando

Tom, The 900 may use different sizes based upon the year. If you go to the Tech Support page for Legacy Products and then to 900 mounts, you’ll find a PDF for clutch plug replacement that

A 2.5 mm hole will allow a #1 screw extractor,and possibly a #2. These are the smallest sizes available which means thatthey can easily be broken if too much force is used. Best Regards Michael

George, are all of these the same plug size for 900/1100/Mach 1 ? This would be nice info to keep around for eventual use for my 1100 and Mach 1 TJF Work Thinkpad
