-- I run robotic projects on a 900 mount. Higher slew speed would increase system efficiency. Any thoughts on what the downsides might be to selecting the maximum slew speed, or contrarywise, what the

All sorted, I set the jog scope to 90deg/min and speed to 1200x and now works. Seems movement was set to slow to be noticed. Thanks

Hi John, Looks like I may have solved this. I checked Windows number format settings and for some reason the decimal separator field was blank. I changed to . (period) and the error does not seem to b

Hi Brad, I can't help much on the Maxim side, but regarding the AP V2 driver, I'll mention two things: I'm sure you are aware, but just in case, the pier side is displayed on the driver's window just

Perfect. Thanks Howard

#ASCOM_V2_Driver

Thanks for the other suggestions. I am still at a bit of a loss. Experiments using different USB serial convertors, and different cables, have not turned up any clear cause of the odd behaviour. I am

Dear All, I talked to George from AP and the solution he suggested worked. Basically, I have to manually park the mount. Then turned the power off and used telescope setup to change the setting “unpar

Hi Bob, Any ASCOM client would work, but the AP V2 driver comes with the AP Jog utility, which would be a good choice. -Ray

Thanks you Jimmy and Ray ! @Jimmy I keep in mind the delay, couple with tracking limits that is one solution. But first I'll try yours Ray, thank a lot for your answer !

I remotely updated things and I'll do that check later today when I'm out in the OBS. But I was a bit reluctant to do anything until I had a confirmation that I did things right. :) joel

I have been using v6.5SP1 (RC1) with no issues thus far although I am still using a 197 point APPM model from a couple of weeks ago which was created with 6.4 installed.

Thank you Rolando! I just checked and Latitude is programmed (00 instead of 30) . Longitude is correct though. I will set that and test! Regards Anis

Hi Joe, Windows 10 1903 is getting pretty old. Its end-of-service date is less than two months away: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/windows-10-1903-end-of-servicing I don't t

Disregard, found Howards comments regarding ASCOM platform 6.5. Thought I was losing my mind. Mike

Sorry not to reply earlier but it was a while between setups (winter here in Australia!). That works fine now. Thanks for the advice.

Deleting the settings.apdb file worked. Thanks Ray. The weird thing is as I go to make other new changes I did not have to (re) delete the apdb file. Now changes are written to file. Kindest Regards.

#ASCOM_V2_Driver
