Sean: Please refer to this post by Jerry Hubble. https://espmc-eight.groups.io/g/MAIN/message/10150 I encourage you to use FW 20A01.01 and the ASCOM driver dated 04/10/2021.

Excellent. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

POTH will behave the same as NINA if the rate/speed of 2.5 is selected rather than using one of the degree choices. The reason I chose to use 2.5 in POTH because it is the rate/speed in NINA.

#iEXOS-100

Do you have Pier Side of Mount turned on or off in NINA?

Please try POTH instead of Device Hub.

Did you select the iExos-100 mount in Explore Stars? It appears like the wrong mount was selected which would affect the motor currents.

Chuck: What speed from the drop-down list are you using in POTH to slew? I used 2.5 when I was doing all of my testing with no issues.

Nahir: I suspect the reason why POTH is freezing is because of the WiFi connection. You really should be using a USB connection. It is more reliable and I suspect it would solve the freezing issues yo

Way to go Jerry and Wes! I installed the latest installation kit and my PMC-8 works like a champ like the test file from yesterday. I suggest adding the CM 1.0.3 tool in the installation package to av

Luiz: Do not use the ST-4 cable with your guide camera. The signal from the ST-4 cable from the guide camera will cancel out any other slew commands the motors are receiving. Please refer to Jerry’s p

Wes: The log file ending in 077210 was indeed using the new ASCOM driver and apparently the new FW. CM v1.0.4 did not install the old FW (I think I recall reading that it was saving to ROM and not EEP

I just confirmed this behavior exists on the old FW for iExos-100 version 1A01C_10B_5.eeprom. The average non-responsive/delay was 47 seconds. Log file attached.

Log files attached. The larger file is with all of my software connected. The smaller file is just POTH connected. Hopefully this will provide some insight.

Wes/Jerry: It seems I still have the same problem that Luiz has that I thought I resolved. I created a 20 min video of the behavior of my iExos-100 mount after the FW update and driver update. Unfortu

Luiz: That is exactly what I experienced and I did not have an ST-4 cable plugged in.
