AstroEQ doesn't work with EQMOD 2.xx #24

Closed petrilakm closed 6 years ago

petrilakm commented 6 years ago

EQMOD send to device on initialisation commands ":O10" fillowed by ":O11". Because you use "O" as progmode select command, AstroEQ is switched to programmin mode and stop responding to normal commands. EQMOD then hangs-up. Solution is to move "progmode" command to other letter as "O".

Which version of EQMOD?

I've not ever seen EQMOD send the :O command, and have never had the problem you describe. Could you provide more details.

petrilakm commented 6 years ago

EQASCOM_V200k Also there is listed "O" as standart Sky-watcher commad: https://github.com/skywatcher-pacific/skywatcher_open/wiki/Skywatcher-Protocol

I haven't original synscan, so I know only information published on web.

I change in both, firmware and java software progmode command to ")" and now. Everything is working.

Interesting.

Seems there have been some changes to EQMOD since AstroEQ was first developed, and new commands added by Skywatcher.

I'm looking in to the issue.

TCWORLD commented 6 years ago

I've pushed a new version of the config utility and firmware.

I believe this should solve the issue - seems to on my end.

Hi Tom I have held back fro sending you my AstroEQ controller to you for the moment for you to test, I tried to use your new configuration and firmware but found that the configuration template does not reveal itself , I have all the uptodate software to allow this to work but no joy does anyone else have this issue?
