Skywatcher have released another update for the motor controller firmware.
From skywatcher:-
EQ8 motor controller firmware version 2.09_LP works the same as version 2.09 except that, by default, it uses half torque to drive the motor during low speed slewing. It is released for EQ8 users who prefer lower power consuming and quiter tracking. With this version of firmware, the user can choose full or half torque driving mode in our next SynScan hand cotnrol firmware release. We would like to thank Hamish Thava from Australia who helped us to test this version of firmware.
