Did you install the 32-bit version?

Could you run the Debugversion, which should give more details.

Hi Henk,

V4.3 hardware is possibly the issue. In the later hardware versions there was a resistor added which is used for hand controller detection. Without this resistor the new firmware will not be able to run detection properly and incorrectly switch into push-button mode.

To remedy this, you'll need to add a 1K resistor pins 12 and 31 of the ATMega162 (IC1) which should allow the older hardware to support the newer firmware.
If your board has the ST-4 connector attached, you should also solder a wire between pin 12 of the ATMega162 and pin 1 of the ST-4 connector (the pin closest to JP2 on the board).

Kind Regards,
Tom.

Not to worry.

Also, should you need them again, all versions of the firmware and config utility can be found on the Github page (https://github.com/TCWORLD/AstroEQ/commits/master/Downloads) in the commit history. I suppose I could update the version history on the downloads page to point the the corresponding commits.
