Sorry to hijack this thread,
AndrewJ,
I have tried to redo the update on my Autostar and the result is the same - however, at least I can now tell you exactly what I have done.
I downloaded from the YahooGroups LX90 site - patch43gg23.zip
I also downloaded Build43Eg.rom from Meade
I updated Build43Eg.rom to Build43Gg23.rom with ClickMe43gg23.bat as per the instructions.
I then used Starpatch to Update the Autostar with Build43gg.rom.
When testing the slews were back to original speed - taking approximately 5 seconds to finalise the slew after the fast slewing has occurred.
I then ReUpdated the Autostar using patch43gg23.spf so that I could select the option (Force old LX90) that Gene Chimahusky (seller of the 909 clone) had recommended. I left the options that were already ticked - they are listed below:
ver 43gg
skip simple align
skip simple tour
float fix
Meade GPS Bugfix
kill brightest
Force old LX90
Satellite AutoTrack
Editing of Training Values
RA RE serial commands
PEC Editor Hook
10x finer custom tracking
DSX mount
Batt Alarm ON
After completing this update, the slews now take ~60seconds to finalise.
The notes that accompany the patch which can be seen using the StarPatch program say that enabling 909APM "may adversely affect GOTOs in v43Eg, DO NOT CHOOSE on an LX90". Force old LX90 - says makes new LX90 motor card appear as old model, so that it will be able to use the 909APM.
The Readme file says of the Enable 909APM - "this feature seems to cause jerky final motions during GoTo's - the accuracy of the arrival seems unaffected, but it's an ugly trip".
Any suggestions?
If there is not solution, I'm willing to enable the Force old LX90 option only when I'm planning to use the 909APM Clone, and turn it off for visual use.
Thanks in advance,
David T
