Problems with GPUSB and Synscan V3.26
Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2010 6:47 am
Hello All,
I just upgraded my Vixen GP mount by adding a Synscan Goto set, firmware V3.26. The goto works fine. Problems start when I want to use autoguiding. When I check my GPUSB module, connected to my Synscan autoguide port, and with the GPUSBcheck software I'm able to move the mount in DEC-, DEC+ and RA- but nothing happens with RA+. I tried with the mount in 'sidereal' and 'no tracking' mode and at high guiding speed but same difference. Ofcourse when operating the mount with autoguiding, using PHD software, I'm unable to get proper calibration or guiding.
There's firmware V3.27 for Synscan available but it doesn't mention guiding issues in the bug fixes so I haven't done the upgrade yet.
Has anyone experienced the same issue or do you have any suggestions that could solve my problem?
Regards,
Bart
