General Discussion / Re: Connection Timeout when disconnecting and reconnecting
« on: April 08, 2018, 08:09:20 »
Hi,
Was a little bit busy and forgot to check the forum, the Arduino is powered through usb, the problem comes when I disconnect the ASCOM driver from the software (C2A, SGP, Poth Hub), the time between connecting the driver again doesn't really matter, I have also waited longer, the USB reconnecting isn't actually physical I do it through a usb server client, the actual device never looses power, but it disappears from Device Manager as if its disconnected completely.

General Discussion / Connection Timeout when disconnecting and reconnecting
« on: March 27, 2018, 20:01:53 »
Hi,
I am building a remotely controlled system and have made an AstroEQ using an original Mega2560, in general I pretty much always get a connection the first time I connect to the controller but if I connect to it at some point disconnect and try to reconnect right away, EQMod gives me the Connection Timeout error, only by disconnecting the USB and reconnecting it I can get it to connect again, this happens on both computers I use, am I missing something, how many of you have this happen, is it an EQMod problem or a Windows problem, when I disconnect the telescope I can still here the steppers being on (energized/braking) even though tracking is off, when I do the trick and get it to reconnect I can hear the stepper turn off for a few seconds and when the software shows it is connected they are reenergized.
I'm running Win 10 Pro on a pretty powerful desktop so I don't think it is the hardware, and Win 10 Home on a low-end laptop which is what I'm going to use most of the times.
Thanks
Oscar

DIY AstroEQ / Re: Defining which motor is for RA/Dec
« on: March 11, 2018, 11:20:03 »
Hi,
Tried the Synta.c change first, did the configuration, but the motors didn't seem to work after that. Did the AstroEQ.h change the motors worked but when I pressed to rotate them from EQMod it hanged and stopped responding, went back to the normal firmware and worked fine. Btw I'm using the A4988 drivers.
Probably just labeling both side will have to do.
Thanks for the help.

DIY AstroEQ / Defining which motor is for RA/Dec
« on: March 11, 2018, 09:13:55 »
Hi,
Made a noob move and marked incorrectly which motor output is which on the PCB I milled and prepared, not really a big deal since the motor connectors are marked on the outside of the box I have made but OCD kicks in and since I know I have marked it wrong it is wrong. So the question, is it possible to change which motor is for RA and which for Dec, I know it should be possible in the "firmware" but what happens when I use the Configuration Utility, will there be any issues?
Thanks
