Hello everybody, I am new in this group and currently trying to get familiarized with the Servo I controller system and in particular with the offset initialisation and Calibration Stars loading. Befo

Hi, I'm just setting up a new Mesu 200 mount with SiTech Servo-controller, and having problems with Meridian flips. I am trying to control imaging sessions with other software, and it may well be that

Dear Russell and Don, I tested the encoders on motors with exchange them between the two motors. The result is both encoders works well on one of the motors. No matter which encoder is on another moto

A long time ago, I seen something to the effect of programing the drive to write your name with a star. My goal is to get the drive to do slow small circles say around the Moon face ( or bigger circle

Was having some issues and needed to do a bit a cable repair to my RA motor. Now my wireless handpad is not functioning. I needed to reset the controllers config to factory specs to get the RA motor f

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 Controller

Greetings My SiTech system has performed extremely well for many years. This week, unfortunately, my observatory computer died and I am re-installing and migrating from Win XP to Windows 10. I have re

I have installed US 40k digital encoders on both RA and DEC axes, how do i know they a functioning? Thanks, Greg

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 configurati

Has anyone ever had to replace the USB socket on the controller and any tips if you did? My cable snagged the other day and got ripped out damaging the socket. It still works but I'm planning to fix i

Dan, We kind of talk a while ago about using the script that collects the PointXP by using plate solving. I mentioned that I use a Sony A7s, and that there is not ASCOM access to the camera, so I sugg

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.

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.

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 fo

Dear Russell, I replaced the motor encoder with the telescope encoder. The situation is still the same. Louis. 在 2020 年 11月 月 26 日 週四，時間： 13:29，Russell R via groups.io <rem.64@...>寫道： Louis, You can c

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. 在 2020 年 11月 月 26 日 週四，時間： 13:29，R

Dear Russell, Yes, I have tested all the contacts with multi-meter. Confirmed that from the contacts on the encoder to the contacts on the controller are ok. I'm trying replacing the motor encoder wit

Dear Russell, Thanks for your tips. I did check all the contacts from the pins on encoder to the cable to controller 1 end. They all having good contacts. Is this means the problem is from the encoder

Dear Don, I did try inputting 12V to the motor alone. It rotate.However, if with the encoder connected, it won't rotate. That means the encoder is bad? I should buy another motor assembly? Louis. 在 20
