did something change in the focuser code in 2.6.0.21 or any of the few versions before that?
i have been down for a month with a dead camera. i got it back last night and decided to upgrade SGP. for whatever reason, i need to run with 'reverse focuser direction' checked (crazy setup with moonlite controller driving a feathertouch motor.)
i tried to 0 the focuser, so i racked it all the way in and set the position to 0 in the moonlite ascom driver settings. however, after doing this, SGP showed 60000 as the focuser position, which is the max i had configured into the ascom driver. in the end i moved the focuser all the way out, then set the position to 0 and then move it back into focus.
"out" moves the focuser out and "in" moves it in, so the reverse setting is correct. however, is it right for SGP to set its idea of the position to "max" when it's set to 0 in the driver?
i noticed later in the evening after a reboot that SGP had for some reason set the focuser position to the max of 60,000 again and i had to go into the driver and set the position to 30,000, which SGP interpreted as 60000-30000=30000. i guess when i had the focuser racked all the way in i could have set it to 60,000 and it would have showed up as 0 in SGP.
thanks,
rob
