Hello Folks,

After a very long wait my Mesu mount 200 has arrived. I set up Sitech following Lucas Mesu's instructions and could then slew with the hand pad at the
three rates.
I connected to my laptop and started CDC, successful connection to the mount, started up PHD2 , could connect all.
I closed these programs.

Now the hand pad does not change the speed of slewing and a recorded voice from Sitech announces "guide two" when the hand pad change speed button is pressed.

How do I reset the system so that the hand pad can set all speeds?


The following instructions from Stargazers relate to this area of operation:-
*******************
Turn your mesu mount on.

Fill in all the setup criteria in the config section (once done it will remember it even when you update.

Connect to a planetarium software.

Slew with the hand pad to a bright obvious star and center in your eyepiece

Sync to the star making sure to do an "offset init"

The mount will now be tracking reasonably accurately.

You can always do an "offset" init near to where you are imaging if you do not want to build a pxp model.

If you still have tracking problems after this let us know.
*******************


So I would like to be able to use the hand pad at slew speed to follow the instructions above.

Looks like the start of a steep learning curve.
