Hey Guys, I've got a question about updating the firmware/software om my iEXOS-100, I purchased it in January 2019, the serial # is 000032, I have never updated it, it is working great so should I try

Parag It appears the iEXOS watchdog is disabled. Always was it seems. Wes.

Jerry, I just received my iEXOS-100 mount today and watched the video in your link on how to upgrade the firmware. In the video, you mentioned files with an 'a' as the version of firmware with watchdo

Jerry, Any update on power consumption? - Bob

Thanks Wes, I have the FTDI chipset and everything else works fine. I’m sure I will find a workaround I just thought I may have a fault. However it’s a computer isn’t it🤔

Thanks Jennifer I will give that a try.😊

Roy: I assume you attempted to update the FW using the Configuration Manager Tool. Another way to update is manually via Command Prompt. There are instructions located in the PMC-8 Application Note (A

Roy I had the same problem. Unfortunately I do not believe there is a cure, just a work around. 1. There was a suspicion that it had to do with the ftdi or lack of an ftdi chip set. I had the failure

Hi All. I am having issues uploading the latest firmware. I have full control of the mount via serial but the response from the PMC manager keeps coming back 'Checksum Error on Com5' Is this a laptop

1.You only way to update the firmware is through the serial. 2. you can always update the firmware regardless wifi or what ever way you have it hooked up as long as you have it connected through Seria

Hello everyone, I should have my new EXOS2-GT PMC8 tomorrow (Saturday, 9/5/2020). While I wait for the mount i have been reviewing all available documentation and videos available. I have also joined

I just talked with Alex and he has measured the current to be around 700 mA when tracking and slewing. He has the original firmware that had the motor current set to 600 mA for both tracking and slewi

#ExploreScientific #FIRMWARE

Jerry, 600-800mA seemed too low to me, assuming that the mA's are per-motor, plus some overhead for the PMC8 itself. So... I decided to perform a test of incrementally adding and removing load. The on

#ExploreScientific #FIRMWARE

Hi Bob, Actually the amperage should be around the 600 to 800 mA range when tracking I believe. Nowhere near 1000 mA for sure.

#ExploreScientific #FIRMWARE

Jerry, Thanks for the offer and confirmation! I probably should stick with GA firmware, though. Yes, the numbers I mentioned were just tracking, not slewing. Very odd - I remember the earlier bump up,

#ExploreScientific #FIRMWARE

Hi Bob, thanks for the feedback. For the EXOS 2 I changed the current from 600 mA (tracking and slewing) in 9T10/11 to 700 mA (tracking and slewing) in 9T13/15 and then in 9T17 to 600 mA (tracking) an

#ExploreScientific #FIRMWARE

Jerry, I've been out twice now, after upgrading to your latest firmware release. My previous was fairly old, circa v13, probably. Yes, I should have noted it. :-( Anyway, 9T_17 is good news, bad news

Mirko, just to let you know that your instructions worked a treat! Might be worth you posting them as a file to be available for other Mac users, just a thought. You certainly saved me hours of termin

Many thanks Mirko, a clear and very helpful explanation. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond and I’m sure it will enlighten a few more people than me 😀👍 I’ll have a go over the weekend

Hi AnonAstron(?) Maybe you already found this PDF. http://02d3287.netsolhost.com/pmc-eight/ESAN003_rev01.pdf It is for Windows, but there is a workflow diagram which is useful. I would suggest to read
