Hi Bryan, Thanks for responding. I did see that, but did not pay a lot of attention given that I will be getting the CP4. Not sure if there is a whole lot of difference between those connections with

Hello all, I was looking for the manual for AP1600 with AE on A-P's website, but could not find one. Does anyone know how I can lay my hands on the manual? I am getting a used AP1600 w/AE and want to

#Absolute_Encoders

When is delivery expected? Also, are you expecting encoder mounts to be in the first batch? I hear that some Mach2s are being pushed out to a March delivery - I hope AP110 AEL can be made available as

Hello all, I am on the AP1100 list, however, when I put my name on the list, I believe I only wanted the AP1100 mount without the encoders. I am now going to change my mind and get the encoder version

Thanks for the update Roland. One quick question - Are people being notified yet? Just trying to figure out if I am part of the list, although, I will say this, I did join the list fairly late. Thanks

Seems the PSU has gone "cold" (dead). Just ordered another one. Time to process the data now. Thanks all!

Hello all, I logged in to my remote system this morning and there was an error message in APCC saying that a fault had triggered because of low power. It was pretty cold last night (around -7C), but I

Ray, COM 4 is the only one that I use to connect the mount to the computer (through a virtual port of course). I can try to reinstall the FTDI drivers and see if that solves the issue. Thanks, Dhaval

Hi Ray, I just did a reboot for the computer - Under Ports (COM and LPT), I see the same COM port that APCC uses to connect the mount (I believe I had said I use COM 3, but I use COM 4 and COM 4 shows

Ray, I just checked, I have the latest FTDI drivers - 2.12.28. Thanks, Dhaval

Hello Ray, 1) As soon as I hit submit, I knew I should have added that I am using GTOCP3...so yes, it is a GTOCP3 2) Yes, I am using a USB to serial converter - the one that is sold by Astro-Physics.

Hello all, I have 2 set ups in a remote observatory - one using an AP900 and the other using an AP1200. While the AP900 set up is not having any issues connecting to the computer and such, I do have i

Thanks Ray. Appreciate the quick response. I believe I have the latest copy of APCC Pro, but will confirm the version number later tonight. Dhaval

Hello all, I have been using APCC Pro for the last few months (obviously since after the start of Daylight Savings in 2018). Now with daylight savings having ended yesterday night, are there any preca

Thanks! It does look like there was some form of leak of oil from the Dec gear box. I will do that when I am out the next time. It is good to know that this will work under power. Thanks, Dhaval

Hello all, I am not sure if this is a problem or not - but I was at the observatory this weekend and noticed that the Dec axis won't even budge after I loosened the clutches. It works just fine with a

Thanks Ray and Joe. I will follow up on those suggestions. Why the settings got wiped out - I have no clue - the computer is behind a UPS, but not the mount. Another thing - when I first initialized t

Thanks Joe. It sounds like a trip to the remote observatory is going to be in the works to solve this. My only concern is that something on the mount was damaged. Hopefully, it's just imbalance or oth

Hi Mike, Thanks for your response, however, it is my understanding that Park 1 is a deprecated position and should be used with caution. The new "reference" position is Park 4 and my understanding of
