EQMOD connection in 1.11NIGHTLY#046, and 049.

[Attila Horváth]

Hi!
I'm using and testing version 1.11 nightly # 032, because i use the MGEN3 guider and the ASCOM dome control, which already working well.
I upgraded to # 046 and then to # 049, but I can't use these, because my EQ8-R Pro mount doesn't connect with EQMOD, although in # 032 it works great.

Thank you: Ati

Hi,

please attach the log file to see why it doesn’t connect. The error description alone is too generic to understand the issue. EQMOD is used by a wide range of users and it should work fine.

Hi Stefan!

Thanks for the reply. You are right, it should have included a log, now I will:

Hallo Stefan!

I uninstalled all affected software (ASCOM, EQMOD, NINA) and then reinstalled it. Then I read the log. :-)
I modified the RA Guide rate in EQMOD. It used to be at an "external" value, now it has a specific value. It works like this.
Now I just don't understand why the stable version (1.10.HF2) didn't report an error and why Nightly?
No problem, now almost everything is OK.
Thanks,
Ati

Most likely the GuideRate was not used in 1.10

[Attila Horváth]

OK, I just didn't use 1.10 sharply, because I found the important mgen 3 and dome features in the nightly version.
Thank you, super work!
Ati
