Sure enough, the keypad was in Connect=Yes mode and still on DST. I changed it to Connect=EXT. -Stacey

I'm virtually certain it's the keypad. I haven't updated it since DST went off. I don't use it now anyway, so I'll just unplug it after shutdown. Thanks again, Roland.

I'm not sure where the "DST" settings are but I'll look for them when I'm done imaging, esp. the keypad.

OK, for some reason APCC was showing -5 TZ but the ASCOM driver was showing -4. Hitting "Resync Mount to PC time in the ASCOM driver Configuration Settings seems to have fixed it. I'm not sure why it

I think you're right! APCC shows LST as 23:32, but it's really 00:32. My lat/long/timezone are all correct in APCC. Computer time is correct. I'm not sure where the problem is. This may have cropped u

I saw this once before but that was several months ago. I send the scope to Park2 and looking at the scope and index marks it's clearly in the correct position but the APCC readout says something like

Marty, Nicely done and illustrated. Thanks for the pictures! The key for me was that the amount of movement was more than I would have expected from a loose worm gear mesh. -Stacey

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures. You'll have to remove both covers and then you'll see the two hex bolts below the drive assembly "box." You can't miss it. -Stacey

Curiosity got the best of me and I thought the looseness (glad I didn't use the "s" word and irritate Roland!), was more than I wanted. What I discovered when I took the covers off was that the two bo

Thanks! That's perfect. I'll probably leave it alone for now. -Stacey

I've noticed a bit of "looseness" in the Dec axis on my Mach2. The RA axis has no loose movement at all. I assume there's an adjustment for this, I just haven't been able to find a reference. Thanks!

Sorry to seem like an idiot but I've searched ap-ug and ap-gto for "keypad5, keypad, keypad 5," including the files. I even did a general search of IO groups and I can't find it.

Thanks! That did it. I didn't see the RECAL + NEXT> documented anywhere! Which PDF is that in?

I have an updated keypad with my Mach2 but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get recalibrate to work. The only Keypad manual I can find is the one from version 4.19.3 and a LOT has changed

Even though I'm fine with things working as they do now, I love a mystery, so I swapped out the RocketPort card for a spare that I had....same result. Tried swapping the cables as well, and updating/r

Hi Ray, I've got the problem solved. I went back out into the HOT observatory and the USB->serial connection to the CP5 worked! I'm not sure what the issue was earlier. I again tested my RocketPort ca

No, CP4 is in another observatory. I would be a LITTLE easier to take the CP5 over to the other observatory and try it there. I assume this won't change any settings on that system???? I'd rather not

Flow control is "none." I should add that I have a 1600 mount with a CP4 so I've been down this road before. The fact that neither of the RS232 ports on the CP5 works with multiple cables/PC ports AND

I got my Mach2 a couple of days ago! What a thing of beauty. However, I've encountered a problem. Although the ethernet connection works perfectly, the RS232 connections do not. With either of the CP5

You need to make sure that APCC closes itself rather than having another program terminate it improperly. When APCC closes itself it closes (inactivates) the virtual ports. If the program is terminate
