Apparently PPEC now works with the latest motor control firmware upgrade (V211).
In the hope that the new MC software also fixed the problems with PEC in EQMOD, I tried updating. The update failed about 1/3 the way through and the download management software advised to power down reset the mount and try again. On power up, the mount had no power indicator light and, although the handset still worked, it was unable to establish contact with the mount - Oh joy, a new boat anchor....
While I was starting to dismantle the setup to send the dead mount in for repairs, it suddenly clicked - the power light and the handset connection may drop out if the motor firmware is not fully functional, but with some luck, the bit of firmware that manages the upgrade may still be working. Thankfully that was the case and, even though the mount seemed dead and the handset could not connect to it, PCdirect still worked and the upgraded motor firmware eventually installed OK - and everything was back to normal.
However, autoPEC still does not work properly in EQMOD - it still tries to use EQ6 drive parameters.
