Star patch does not seem to have any info on th LX200GPS model
|
Look at
http://www.stargps.ca/downloads.htm
and look 3/4 way down for "ASII"
It has the current rom and spf files there.
If you load starpatch on yr PC and select Hbx type of ASII,
then ask it to search for latest files,
it should also find em automatically.

I have a friend that is working on a step focus system that allows fine focus in set incriments
|
If that is the case, you will need the :FP section of the patch.
Just be warned, the patch fixes the function so that it allows
precise "pulse" focussing, but it is time limited, NOT position limited.
Ie you cannot calibrate the guider for set "distance moves"
as the distance moved depends on load and orientation of the focusser.
Its certainly better than manual start/stop focussing
but its still not a precision process.

Load StarPatch, start your scope and connect the comms cable.
Select handbox type of ASII and Baud rate of 115k
Select the ....gg16.spf file into the file select window.
Once it presents the patch options, select those you want
and deselect those you dont want.
Hit GO and its done when it beeps
