EAF focuser Zero position issue

Issue #536 resolved
Giampaolo M created an issue

Hello, I recently moved to 1.10 beta release when I bought an EAF focuser (I’m currently using beta 009)

Everything it seems ok, but I ‘ve found that if i want to move to 0 position, from other position (over 4000 for example) suing NINA I can do that. it’s seems limited to reach 200.

example:

  1. reach normal focus position (e.g. 4320)
  2. move to 200, it’s ok
  3. move to 0, is KO (but using ZWO driver it’s possibile. Problem of “bad-setting of zero”, not coherent with physical end-stop of focuser movement, it’s not true.)
  4. move back to 4320 is OK
  5. move to 0 is KO

I ve installed latest ZWO driver (1.0.2.4 with firmware 3.1.9).

Thanks for feedback and report to developers.

    Hi, thank you for the report. This is most likely due to the backlash compensation not accounting for the max and minimum position. I will have a look at this and fix it for the next beta.
