Hi Alistair, Brendan et al,
Good stuff !
Alistair I sent a PM regarding CCD autopilot now I have purged my inbox, SharpSky stuff had filled it up
I connected CCD autopilot to SharpSky via FocusMax and it appears to read the temperature once on connect but then fails to update even though FocusMax is reporting temperature changes about once a second. Not completely clear to me how CCD is supposed to function in this area. Tried changing various settings but CCD is not picking up temperature changes from FoxusMax no matter what I change ? I will have another play later.
You shouldn't have a problem with the switches although I have not tried stand alone switches - let me know how you get on.
Hi Brendan,
The version number will not update until you connect, it is only at this point that any information is exchanged between the driver and controller. So as you say once you connect and open the setup window the new version V4.1 will be displayed and refreshed every time you connect.
I have upgraded the bootloader application on the website to V1.2 (this was an oversight and should have been done before). The flashing did work despite the error. The error was only a verification error due to a modification I made to some securing data in the bootloader.
You should now notice (with V4.1) smoother motor movement with no pausing and a much more responsive manual control. Also the heatbeat LED used to tend to pause sometimes during a temperature read - this is also now fixed and the LED flash is steady.
Cheers & clear skies (not here)
