I don't think you can run two sets of SiTech on one computer at the the same time. There are two ways to set up to switch between two SiTech setups, one at a time: 1. Windows can have multiple USERS,

Peter, I'd like to know that also. I've got the servo 1 and a servo 2 presently we use 2 computers. Nels Johansen

Hello, I'd like to know if it's possible to have 2 sitech controlled mounts running from a single Windows 10 computer, if not at the same time then how to easily save & use the 2 different

Hi Stefan, I have no knowledge of this company nor it's encoders. However their web site has quite a range of encoders, so if you found one that will fit your tight requirements, I think you don't

Happy Holidays Everyone, I'm back trying to increase the resolution and accuracy of the declination drive on our telescope. We would put a Renishaw on this axis, but there simply isn't any room for it

Don, Thank you. That worked well. PlatSolve was able to find the catalog files. Strange enough I did have the folder PlateSolve3Catalog in the same place you mentioned

Thanks don

Hi Raphael, I know nothing about the Orion controller. So there is no way I can suggest to determine the tics/rev using the Orion system of control. But once you have SiTech controlling the servos,

The setting you show will prevent SiTech from doing a platesolve. Don W

Hi apologies if this has been cover already can someone confirm if plate solving is off I want it disabled so I can use Sky X and Voyager to do the solving.

Hi, Dear All I need to find out the number of encoder ticks of the motors of an Orion Skyquest XX 14 goto telescope, as I'm replacing the current tracking/go to system for Sitech Dual Servo

Dear All Has anyone tried to convert, or converted an Orion Skyquest XX series go to telescope to Sitech tracking/go to system? Any comments would be most appreciated.

Louis, Connect motor/encoder cables to controller Remove cover from controller Go to "Test and Tune" in ServoConfig and put motor in manual mode Move the slider to start motor turning Check voltage

Dear Don, I exchanged the cable from another motor on declination axis to test. The problem is still there. Therefore, the problem should be the encoder. I prefer replacing the whole motor assembly

Hi Louis, Then your problem is the cable or connectors, not the encoder. Don W

Hi Alvaro, Platesolve3 requires the catalogs to be correct and in the correct location on your PC. Here is the writeup on setting up Platesolve3 catalogs (from the readme file that comes with each

Dear Russell, I replaced the motor encoder with the telescope encoder. The situation is still the same. Louis.

Dear Russell, Are you mean that inputting 5volt to pin1 and pin4 by say a power supply? Then check the voltage change on multi-meter while rotating its shaft? Louis.

Hello, After about 6 months now I am working on the plate solving script, and the first thing I tried was to get the script to get the plate solving working independently.

Louis, You can check if the encoder is working with voltmeter. Make sure no static conditions present Remove encoder cover Supply only 5 volts to pin 4 of encoder and ground to pin 1. Turn encoder
