Hi Steve, It seems that your keypad has lost its programming and is now in firmware-load mode. I do not know how or why that would happen unless a reset procedure had been run. (We call the reset proc

Remember that we have a very quick and easy method for measuring orthogonality - the first step in correcting it. https://astro-physics.info/tech_support/mounts/keypad/keypad-manual.pdf Go to page 52.

I will try to reproduce your issue, but I have 2 keypads that have been loaded with the Java loader several times during recent testing. You can stay with 4.19.3 if you don’t mind the following: Butto

AP GTO Keypad firmware v.4.19.3 is loaded using a Windows program that you install. It shouldn’t care whether the GTOCP4’s firmware is VCP4-P01-xx or VCP4-P02-xx. The Java loader used with v.4.19.5 is

You all know that I am a HUGE fan of APCC Pro’s modeling! However; Be careful using the modeled terms as true values. The model is a *best-fit* and the individual terms are modeled – NOT individually

Hi Gang, One of the great new features in APCC v1.9.x is Dec Arc Tracking. There was some discussion when v. 1.9.x was released, but there were many other subjects for discussion as well. In the meant

Keypad database corruption is generally catastrophic in terms of GoTos. Database corruption sends you to the complete wrong place - not just *off-by-a-bit*. And that's if you can slew to catalog objec

Ray and Dale, I honestly think we are starting down a rabbit hole here. It is my belief that Mr. McCann's safety park timer parked the mount while pointed at the zenith awaiting flats. After that, the

I agree with Ray's next step. Try reconfiguring Home and Limits as shown. If a problem persists, let's set up a time where I can help you while you are at the mount.

Periodic error is a mechanical characteristic of a worm screw gear. A PE curve is simply a measurement of that error. It's validity for making corrections is entirely dependent on the synchrony betwee

Hi Max, Please zip and email me a log file that shows this.

Hi Tom, Just a few brief thoughts: Park is a state. (as opposed to a State Park) Park means that the motors and their encoders are no longer energized. Nothing more. The mount can park, or can be park

I'm sure this can be fixed quickly. Give me a call at AP and we'll get it figured out.

The MGBOX2 has its own software app. I am not positive of this, but I believe that this software cannot run simultaneously with a program like APCC. However, The MGBOX2 could be used at the start of a
