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 :(

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 guidi

This was not after changing anything. It was after updating the firmware, and running UFCT for the very first time. So, the mount type isn't detected from the get go. It is only set after saving the c

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. I s

I'm afraid you are talking about something quite different here. I use a serial connection and not WiFi, and this is about the Universal Firmware Configuration Tool, not the Configuration Manager.

I installed the new firmware. in accompanying tool, the Get Current Configuration button seems to be not willing to cooperate :( See image below: So, first I select the correct com-port. There is only

I had to unplug - replug the RS232-USB cable several times before the configuration manager finally recognized the PMC-8, The firmware is now installed at last :)

When I try to update the firmware, I get a message that no Propeller chip is found on any serial port :( I have the PMC-8 powered on, and connected to the laptop using the FTDI serial cable I normally

Can someone please explain what INDI drivers and INDI users are ? I take it that it has nothing to do with being from India, but the meaning eludes me, so I have no idea if I need to update the firmwa

It's very straight forward. Just get a serial cable with a FDTI chipset, and reverse the Tx channel. You can find more info in the PMCEightApplication subgroup. No discussions about that here. Jerry w

I do not use dithering yet. First things first, and build it step by step. I was glad the guiding was reasonably good :)

The dew strips need a lot of Amperes, I'm not sure it's a wise decision to power that by the Asiair. I had a seperate power adapter with too few mA's and the strips wouldn't warm up at all. With a 5A

Alan, This schematic is so specific for my situation, but I found it handy when knowing for sure all cables were present where they needed to be :) With the FTDI cable is essential you reverse the sig

Hi, I don't know if it will help anyone, but here's the schema of my astronomy setup. It seems to be working just fine. THIS CHART WAS MADE WITH LUCIDCHARTS - YOU CAN VIEW AND COPY IT FROM THIS SHARE:

just to be sure, it is the larger ribbed knob that unscrews ? (before I apply too much force on something unmovable) EDIT: found them.. two LR41 cells in series.

Managed to it by unscrewing one screw with the small allan (hex) key. Fitted one 2" extender, and am able to focus now :) The houses opposite my house, distance approximately 100 meters according to G

Djeez, I have no idea how to do that, which screws do I need to use for that ? I'm afraid I will do the wrong ones and destroy the telescope..
