According to Mike, our software engineer, the CP3 bottom port has a bug in the UART so that approximately every 1000 or so commands one will get parsed improperly and the character 1 may be changed.

Hello Ray, I am working doing that. Am also going to try different commands such as get latitude whose value does not change. I know the bottom serial port is different than the top and that may be

Hi Forrest, You should google "VB6 50003" if you want to get the most relevant results. The problem is almost certainly out of date, duplicate, or mismatched DLLs, so maybe you missed something when

For local usage where security is no issue: TightVNC runs just fine and does not need an external internet connection. kind regards, Maarten Op wo 11 dec. 2019 om 20:58 schreef Cheng-Yang Tan via

Hi Ray, I uninstalled the SharpCap program. I have found no duplicate/mismatched .dll files. I have uninstalled the AP V2 driver and reinstalled. Same error. I have again uninstalled AP V2 driver

The error is related to VB6 which is what the AP V2 driver uses. It is unrelated to APCC, which does not use any VB6 code so it could not be the source of the problem. You may have duplicate DLLs of

Hi Ray, Thanks for you quick reply. The only software installed in a long time (months) besides unavoidable Windows 10 updates, was the update to APCC Pro 1.7.1.5. But I did try something for the

Hi William, Have you tried the same set of commands while connected to the top port? -Ray Gralak Author of APCC (Astro-Physics Command Center):

Hi Forrest, That error has nothing to do with APCC. The error means that the VB6 runtime used by the driver is old, perhaps because of something else you installed. You might be able to fix this be

Hi Maarten, I've installed and tried out NoMachine. Very impressive! It's fast as well. I think I'll be using NoMachine to during my next imaging session. Thanks for the recommendation. cytan

When I spoke with TV's customer service to find out why I was cut off, they expressly told me that their application detects whether quickbooks or certain other applications are running as part of

Hi all, I've read this thread with some amusement, as there are some pretty wild theories and terminology being put forth as fact. I'm not a TV user and have avoided using it to save myself from the

These issues usually boil down to a configuration issue. It's important to think of the keypad as another client to the control box for the mount, as your computer and the Astro-Physics ASCOM driver

Hi Ray, I am out of business. I updated to version 1.7.1.5 and now I get this error msg every time I try to connect the V2 drive to APCC Pro. Thank you Forrest Sims

Ray, I was just trying to troubleshoot an invalid response coming from the CP3 for some commands. Was trying to slave my AP900 CP3 to another mount. Everything works great 99.99% of the time. But

Peter, As before it really helps if you address all the questions. How sure are you about the keypad settings? Have you double checked the date, time, and location settings? Do you have a copy of

Hi Maarten, I use it behind a firewall so I it should be ok. But I'll look at NoMachine. Thanks! cytan

UltraVNC is not secure, even when using an encryption plugin. The password can only be 8 characters (embedded in protocol) so a brute force attack is quite easy. Take a look at NoMachine

Hi Joe, I found TV definition of "non-commercial" to be too onerous. Anyhow, I'd suggest looking at UltraVNC. At least on my home network, it's not only a lot faster, it is also stable. As
