Meridian Flip Does not work anymore

[azwing]

Howard,

may be I found a typo within OnStep.ino (a minus sign before degreesPastMeridianE) Removing it Meridian Flip works again.

After many tests it seems the Meridian flip works after that change even I am not convinced the change is in the right place, it just prevents OnStep from stopping tracking issuing an underpole error.

Afte some other test I discoverd I am stupid, but this is not new :-)

If all what I have understood from Limits seting is that if I set both degreesPastMeridianW and degreesPastMeridianE to the same value Autoflip will never happen.

But If I set degreesPastMeridianE to 4° and degreesPastMeridianW to -4° it works fine.

I am right?

The automatic meridian flip goto destination must be within limits (on the other pier side) or the goto will fail and it'll throw a meridian limit error and stop tracking.

Thank you, I think there is a lot of confusion with this topic and would like to include a help in the Indi driver.

I was just discussing this so you might want to read this topic (copy/paste the url if needed as github doesn't seem to follow links out on the web):
