Testing indoors for now - there must be a break in the weather due soon.

All looking good. Nice smooth accel/dec when slewing.

Thanks Tom

Hi Tom,
Thanks a lot for you efford and the continious improvement of the tool.

I've downloaded the new tool and updated the firmware without problems, perform the configuration steps and store the new config file, but if I try to load the configuration file previously stored the tool freezes and you are not able to enter any value in the fields. Also the values stored in the config file are not shown.
I have runned the tool as Administrator with the same results, but if you load a config file generated from the previous version of the tool, then all values are shown correctly and the tool works perfect.

I don't know if this is a bug of is just happening only to me


Kind regards,
Víctor

Hi Victor,

Not come across that one before. Could you download the version attached to this post and run the AstroEQDebug.exe version. Then try to load the configuration file and attach any messages are reported in the command window as a text file to the beta thread (linked above).

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hi again Tom,

thanks for your swift answer. I'll try to downlad the tool from your link, But I've just taked a lookt into the file generated by the new tool:
:a12457600
:b113063
:s117067
:n1458
:a22457600
:b213063
:s217067
:n2458
:c11
:c20
:d11
:d232
:q10
:q20
:r10,25
:z15
:z25
:V11.8
:V21.8
:U12.666666
:U22.666666
:W1144
:W2144

and there are only tree new lines compared with the files generated by the previous version:
:q10
:q20
:r10,25

just deleting the line :r10,25 the tool can load the file without problem

regards,
Víctor

Ahh, it might be a locale issue - you've ended up with a comma "," as opposed to a period "." for the decimal separator. Odd that it doesn't affect the :U# and :V# fields.

Could be, the comma was generated by the tool, so maybe a locale issue.
This is the log from the debug tool when I try to load the file:

Hi Victor,

Yep, definitely a locale issue. Quite a simple fix. I've updated the utility on the downloads page with a patch, so this should now all be fixed.

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Hi Tom,

I've downloaded the latest the version to test and I have come across a problem with the goto rate in the config utility. If I enter 600 it is changed to 310, and 800 is changed to 2 ;D
I'm guessing something is not right. It used to give quite close numbers.

Could you try the attached version? (copy the attached .exe to replace the one you have)

Make sure the driver/COM port is set up and working. Also ensure power is connected before USB.
