New Az motor board didn’t fix the issue
Issue seems to be related to the encoders which cannot be left disconnected
Without the encoders in circuit the scope doesn’t perform rudimentary tasks like parking to Home Position etc…
You can disable them in the Handcontroller but I tried disabling them and re enabling them to no avail.
I’ve cleaned the optics on the encoders but still have the slew rate issue in Az axis.
Im not wasting any more time and money on this issue ( $350.00 and about 20 man hours )
Adriano from Testar is pricing me a new 12” Base unit only so I can reuse my existing collapsible OTA.
Folk on this Forum , Adriano from Testar and Graeme from Sky-Watcher have been extremely helpful
Thanks
Martin
