APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3

Bill Long #77018 Good find.

Manusfisch #77012 Is there a way of hooking a GPS module into the Hand pad to acquire the coordinates TJF Mobile toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Mar 13, 2021, at 12:31, Wayne Hixson via groups.io <wayneh9026@...> wrote: Glad it was easy to rectify.

Yes, if the keypad initializes the mount, then APCC will not initialize the mount, so your Mach2 continues to use the keypad's Lat/Long values. Once Lat/Long has been set, you have to power-cycle the mount to change it. -Ray -----Original Message----- From: main@ap-gto.groups.io [mailto:main@ap-gto.groups.io] On Behalf Of Wayne Hixson via groups.io Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2021 9:18 AM To: main@ap-gto.groups.io Subject: Re: [ap-gto] APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3 Hi guys!

Bill Long #76993 Right. If Wayne issued a malformed RCAL at some point, homing the mount will clear that. As a rule of thumb with both of my encoder mounts, I use the APPM "RECAL At Zenith" option during the model build. After that finishes I do home the mount (probably not needed) and I get on my target and use APCC to do a APPM Solve and Sync. toggle quoted message Show quoted text From: main@ap-gto.groups.io <main@ap-gto.groups.io> on behalf of Ray Gralak <iogroups@...> Sent: Friday, March 12, 2021 11:31 PM To: main@ap-gto.groups.io <main@ap-gto.groups.io> Subject: Re: [ap-gto] APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3 If the mount's site latitude and longitude are correct, just home the mount, as Bill suggested.

Ray Gralak #76988 Hi Wayne, That might happen if there happened to be a communications issue getting the latitude. Try restarting APCC. -Ray toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@ap-gto.groups.io [mailto:main@ap-gto.groups.io] On Behalf Of Wayne Hixson via groups.io Sent: Friday, March 12, 2021 9:07 PM To: main@ap-gto.groups.io Subject: [ap-gto] APCC shows Altitude at 0 in Park 3 Altitude at park 3 should be 47 degrees. Site is correct. This happened before, not sure what the problem is. Wayne
