Terry:
Have you changed the slew rate to 2.5 in POTH before attempting to use the directional buttons? If you did not that could explain why the mount is not moving.

Re: Struggling with firmware update

Can’t say why poth won’t stop but the hub works fine. There was an issue long ago but that is corrected now
I would suggest that the arrow keys on poth are not what you should use for centering

Please wait means the pc is not communicating to the pmc8. Connect the pc to the pmc8 and the use the cmd.exe, enter

Re: Struggling with firmware update

Sorry to hear that Andreas, if I find a solution I'll post it here, I have changed everything over to use Device Hub instead of POTH, hopefully it will work but reports from more experienced users

"Still haven't managed to get POTH motion controls to work fully, the stop button does nothing."
Same for me. When slewing manually the mount won't stop via Poth Controller.

Still haven't managed to get POTH motion controls to work fully, the stop button does nothing so the only way to prevent the mount from continuously moving is to hit the park button, obviously that's

Hello,
To clarify, my 3D printable PoleMaster Mount uses the adapter that comes with the standard PoleMaster system. Nothing else is needed.

I don’t know if it’s compatible, but there are several options. You could use polar alignment in NINA. Also, if you have room at the end of your vixen rail, there is an adapter for the PF camera

Hi Steve, I see time ago 3D adapters on Thingiverse but the problem with that adapters is the need of other QHY adapter.
The ADM adapter is great!!!!! but having the PolarFinder adapter from Explore

If you have access to a 3D printer, you can find one on Thingiverse that works quite well.

Yes I had installed the Ascom drivers from the update kit, a nice clean install as this machine has not had Ascom installed previously, so it's a fresh install of Ascom 6.5 with POTH and then

Ram:
The cheapest option is to replace the Losmandy dovetail on the scope with a long Vixen dovetail.
The next mid-range price option is and ADM D to V converter that fits into your existing Vixen
