No problem , thanks Leo for replying
The only problem is that the handcontroller and power supply plug into the Altitude motor board housing not the Azimuth motor board which is mounted on the base
My issue is with Az not Alt , altitude control works fine and changes rate to any number 2 to 9.
Also I’ve done some searching around for replacement Az boards ( if I fact this will solve my issue ) and SW no longer supply replacement Az and Alt motor boards for to Goto dob range.
What I failed to check was connectivity of HC to motor board ( RJ45 to RJ12 curly cord ) However, if the cable pair send / receive in the cord that controls slewing in Az was open circuited , I would have expected Az not to work at all. Az is working but doesn’t change from default fast rate 9 to slow rate 2.
When I’m back down the coast again in late October / early November I’ll check all cables , cords and RJ connectors to ensure no continuity issues before I think about what’s next.
Cheers
Martin
