Hi Steve,
I noticed on your picture you marked serial mouse encoders... Are you using mouse driver or David Ek's box?
I use mouse driver (Gmouse.com), but I have a problem here, it seems the mouse interrupt handling does not work properly and very often the position is not updated while tracking and/or slewing.
Currently, when I want to move the scope, I have to stop tracking, to avoid problems - automatic returning to a position that scope thinks is current and correct and which is not because of missing interrupts (well, that is my theory).
So I plan to mount the David Ek's box (which keeps current scope position in its own controller's memory and sends it to main computer on request), but since I can live with the workaround, and since I am lazy, the box is still on my table, waiting to be mounted and used..
This is the only problem I have with bartels system and it was not resolved on forum (yet). Perhaps because not many people are using mouse driver and this s/w bug is simply ignored?
Yes, it is a work in progress :-)
