Jerry I have solved my Universal Firmware Configuration issue with help from Tyler and Wes. My problem now is I no longer have POTH Telescope to control the mount. It is missing from the ASCOM

Thanks for the feedback. I think that is what is leading most astray.

Wes you are correct I was hitting the get configuration button not set configuration. I believe this is what Jerry showed in the video.

Re: Universal Firmware Configuration Tool - Get Current Config not working
Wes, I don't know how to say it more clearly. step 2 in your order fails when you just have flashed your new firmware. Get configuration fails whether I click on EXOS 2 or not :(

Re: Universal Firmware Configuration Tool - Get Current Config not working
Paul:
Correct. Per your video, you selected the mount to ne exos2 then clicked GET CONFIGURATION. SElecting the mount type did not change the configuration, it just set a new configuration state in

If the old driver connects so too will the new driver -- no changes there. Did you setup the new driver for the correct comm port and for serial comms?
Yes wait for INDI to be fixed properly.

As i recall the first thing about the INDI was that we broke the mount id part as the get version command response is changed. The second thing that is broken is a slew to a static az el.

Asiair Pro seems to be working still after the firmware upgrade. At least, the buttons used to manually slew RA and Dec still make the mount move.
Since there's cloud at the moment, I can't test

Re: Universal Firmware Configuration Tool - Get Current Config not working
Wes,
Everything worked after the configuration was saved one time. That's seems bit counter intuitive to me, but once you know that, it's workable. Maybe it could be explained in the instructions.

When you look at paul’s movie you see him choosing exos2 and pressing get configuration, the result being the same error message. This is correct!

Sorry about the issue you are experiencing.
I put out a note on chxanging P9 manually to get around this.
Look on the firmware update thread.
