Peter, Do you remember what size those screws are? I took one from the dec gearbox on my Mach I to Home Depot, but I couldn't find the same size and thread pitch. Dave

I use both INDI on RPi and SGP on windows, but my plan is to move solely to INDI once the AP driver matures a bit more. Dave

Peter and Joel, I hoped there would be a less expensive DIY option, but you guys are right. I am going to buy the length cable I need from Optec. Thanks again, guys! Dave

Thanks, Peter and Dale. The cable that Optec supplies with the focuslynx is way longer than I need. I thought about purchasing another one from Optec and shortening it but they charge $55 for the cabl

Peter, Where did you get that short serial to USB cable for your focus controller? Dave

Since the recommended Nyogel lubricant isn’t readily available to individuals, would AP consider selling it to mount owners so we can continue to get the same protection/performance the mount receives

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't making a 4-way pigtail with power poles be an option? You would still have one cable though the mount for power and not have the additional weight of the rig runner

Thanks Suresh! That clears up my confusion. clear skies!

Suresh, That is very interesting. Are the FSQ85 and the FSQ106 different designs? Did you get this information from Takahashi Japan? Texas Nautical Repair, the company that provides warranty service o

JunkMailGoesHere, I apologize for the snippy response. I didn't read the emails carefully. Dave

Marj, I'm sorry I thought you, not Ray, said that not everyone with a V2 license of pempro would be eligible for a free upgrade to version 3. I didn't read the email chain carefully. Sorry to waste ev

Thanks Ray!

Ray, Just so I'm clear, this upgrade path you outlined above is only for people who received Pempro from AP as a part of the software package that came with the mount? Thanks, Dave

Yeah, thanks that's real helpful. Since Marj said "the beta is open to all PEMPro V2 licensed users (AP or CCDWare), many of whom will not be eligible for a free upgrade to V3." I don't think it's unr

Marj, Who will be eligible for the free upgrade to PEMPRO v3? The CCDWare website says "Buy Version 2 now and receive a free upgrade to V3 when released". Thanks, Dave

I got it! I'm not sure why though. I power cycled the CP4, initialized the mount from my PC, connected to the access point and checked the settings (ethernet mode OFF). I then tried connecting for the

Thank you, Christopher. That is a very helpful explanation. After fiddling around a bit more I am able to connect to the CP4 as an access point and access its setting page, but I still can't control t

Steve, Thanks for the tip! Dave

Joel, I tried using 169.254.0.85 and I can't connect. Is there a port number or something? Dave

I was able to restore wifi by looking at what devices were connected to my router. Whatever I changed made the CP4 connect to the router and it was assigned a different IP address. Thanks, everyone!
