... OK, thanks for the tip, i check it again today. There is no MAC adress for this controller ? If i do a check in my router about the connections of all...
Hi Jaime, ... With both cabels, ethernet and USB, i can change the I¨-adress. After that i removed the USB cabel, set the controller to TCPIP and restarted...
Hi Erik, quick reply as we're enjoying a few vacation days (local holidays): it is quite uncommon, but temperature may affect solderings if they have a hidden ...
Even though this is about the VSO Zerotator I am posting here as my problem is related to the motor. If you think I should address it to VSI then just let me...
Hello Joe, no problem with the issue posted here - if I can help I'll do gladly. About them: 1) how much backlash, if you can quantify it in steps or degrees?...
Jaime, Thanks for the reply. I'll try the 24v option tomorrow but would appreciate you looking into whether 24v PLUS bipolar would work. As for backlash then...
Hi again, Paul, I just measured and you can safely use both bipolar and 24V at the same time. I bet 24V and unipolar is more than enough, but the option's...
Hi, The AAG-Cloudwatcher Hardware comes with a cable acting as a switch (Open when clear and closed when overcast /unsafe). I would like to directly connect...
Hi Ranga, I do not have experience with Foster's, but wanted to point out you'll still need the AAG CW connected to the PC for it to operate - even if the ...
Hello Paul, I had same problem with my setup. Mu camera is ST10-CW10-AO and it's a unbalanced setup. So I made some hardware to counterbalance it as you can...
Jaime, thanks for your fast reply. So then I will connect via Foster-Software. I all the same are interested in a stand-alone solution. Computers or programs...
Hi Ranga, what's really requested is to connect it to the CW application; with this, if the Foster unit is capable of reading the relay, it should work. BUT,...
Jaime / Massimo, Thanks for the advice. Using 24v and leaving as unipolar has worked fine. It seems to have enough torque and dropping from 10ms to 5 has made...
1 degree of backlash is very high in my opinion. Maybe mine is a bit lower but enough to to be noted after rotation. Let me know abot your improvements. Best ...
Hi Paul, Massimo, I think I have a good idea to solve the backlash problem - motor or otherwise - for eccentric setups. I can add a "map" of position / angle ...
Hi, I've been reported of a bug in the rotator software, and while I'm already working on it, please set the camera in horizontal (0º) position before closing...
I have been attempting to interface the seletek focuser with the SkyX. So far the attempts have had negative results. In the past, I have been able to use...
Jaime, I'm not sure how much of a "problem" it is in reality. About 1 degree is bigger than I would have thought BUT the main reason I am (starting to) use a...
Hi Paul, thank you very much for the sincere answer; actually I'll probably add this feature anyway, but of course if there are users demanding it the priority...
Hello Jim, first of all, your message seems cropped - there's a partial sentence at the bottom ("I select a..."). Two different issues here: - first, the...
Hi Paul, I spoke to Jaime in the past about this issue. I never had problems to center a guide star into my OAG, neither before mount flipping nor after that....
Hi Massimo, I thought I had a nice solution to the backlash problem, but thinking again I see it is really difficult: my idea was making a "map" of position / ...
Jaime, As I've said before it's early days for me and a rotator..... The way I see it is 1) gravity engages the gears so that i) movement against gravity has...
Hi Joe, this is more of less what I thought, but there are a few annoying details: - while pointing at the zenith, any movement of the rotator is gravity ...
Hi Massimo, just checked here, and raising the % Power while stopped definitely results in some power going to the stepper while it is stopped. It won't be...
Jaime, It's not meant to be selfish but I don't think you'll ever solve a belt and pulley issue if the backlash is down to some stretching. You'll only ever be...
Hi Paul, agreed, it cannot be solved, let's say, perfectly, but I believe it an be improved. On the other hand, we don't need extreme accuracy, and most...
