Flip command

What is the usecase for the flip command? How is it different than a regular goto?

Re: Lost home and park positions

OK, I had the NYX out tonight, and was able to get a bunch of well guided photos. I did have a hard time getting it to point to an object without hitting limits and just stopping. It would not do a meridian flip unless I manually flipped it and aimed it close to the target. I did manage to get it se...

Help Test updated Indi driver

Does anyone in the group use Ekos/Indi? I've found the indi driver to be missing several features, so I added some missing features to the Indi drivers. If anyone is willing to test I'd be grateful. You'd have to be using linux/indi/ekos, and be comfortable installing bleeding edge versions to test ...

Re: Lost home and park positions

Mine is a V2 mount on firmware 1.25.2.

I've only seen this while I've had it outside. Maybe platesolving / slewing / guiding had something to do with it. I'm planning to take it out tonight, I'll try and trace it down further.

Re: Lost home and park positions

This happened again last night, very frustrating. I ended up taking the mount inside to debug it. The mount was pointing in a different location than it was reporting, and the home position was quite far off. Slewing to the home position and resetting it there did not work. It would continue to slew...

Re: Lost home and park positions

I did reset the home position several times, and it never worked. Switching to altz and back seemed to reset everything.

Lost home and park positions

I used the mount last night trying to do some photography, but had issues with platesolving -- those were probably unrelated to the nyx. When I finished I found the mount pointing towards the ground. Today I turned on the mount and tried to send it home, and it went to some strange position. No amou...

Elevation, and Meridian and automatic meridian flip.

How do I reset Elevation and Meridian limits to their defaults? What exactly does "Automatic Meridian Flip" do? Is it like some other mounts in that the next goto will trigger a meridian flip if possible, then it will go back to not forcing the flip for the next goto? Or is it something el...

Re: Unity Platform - Linux (Wine)

Thanks for doing this! How did you get dotnet installed in wine? Mine fails.

Mount protocol

I am planning to add features to the indi driver. Do you have a document describing the full protocol for the mount?

Non windows firmware update

I don't use windows but that seems to be required to do a firmware update even though the mount updates itself. Will the mobile unity app have the ability to do a firmware update? Will ekos have this ability?
