Please notice that the changes affect only the beta version: Main Unit: !!!!Bug Fix!!! The EEPROM storage for the alignment was overlapping with the Site Definition, and both get corrupt. If you see 00:00:00 for RA and Dec after you turned the main unit on, please goto the Telescope action Menu (Shift+East) then "Align" then "Clear" then restart the main unit (power off). You will have to redefine all Sites (names, Lat, Lon etc...) SHC: no change Webserver: no change Focuser: no change |

The version 1.1.x will be no ore maintain ! That why you cannot select the version 1.1 in the UI. before you upgrade the driver: 1 download your mount parameter with Jürgen tool 2. upload the new firmware for all units (SHC, FOCUSER, Mainunit) 3. perform a reset too factory 4. upload the mount parameter with Jürgen tool 5. update the ASCOM driver if you use ASCOM, the current version is 1.2!!! Please be patient and calm, and report bugs if you can reproduce issue. For people that have the right to edit the wiki please update the documentation. It is the best moment in the year to do the migration and to do some monkey testing during the day. I will try to fix every reported bug in 48 Hour. I will appreciate any correct fix proposal on git ;) If you can report the bug directly in git hub! and add a Star if you like it :) https://github.com/charleslemaire0/TeenAstro Charles |

Hi Charles
Thank you, outstanding work! On my side I have updated the TAConfig.py utility (for Linux and Mac users), and finalized the test utility that compares pointing accuracy against Mel Bartel's ScopeToSky Javascript program. Here is a sample output. Both programs are documented on
my web site and in my fork of github TeenAstro.
I have also updated the INDI driver, but I want to test it under clear skies before releasing it. (may take a while - bad weather in the coming week!)

Great ! Many thanks Charles. ASCOM now connected and works (POTH + Carte du ciel)
I use TeenAstroConfig to copy config. Now 2 Mini Main Units updated and one ready for the TeenSy 4.0. Final test this week. I’ll do the Teensy 4.0 adaptation on the last 1.2 branch. Only few files to modify.
Best regards
Eric

* Main unit - fix issue with Apparent pole - fix issue with corrected tracking rate * SHC - user defined default rate - Main unit version visible after boot - check that Main unit and SHC are consistent * Webserver - better WIFI performance If you have tried the 1.2.0 version you need to upgrade! You need the latest ASCOM driver for that Version |

Hi Charles,
it seems that the zip-archive is lacking the firmware files - it's just the executables. Is this intended? Thanks for your tireless work! Hans-Christian |
|
|
|
Yes this is intended.
There is now a Download button. Press the button and then you get the .hex and .bin files
It is then easier for me to share new version, and easier for you to get the latest version.
a ReadeMe file is missing to have the list of changes.
Charles

Hello
Yesterday, I failed for the 1.2.3 SHC frimware but today, it works fine ... Still a bug ? when changing the mount type trough the SHC, it reboots and then ask for the main unit version. Then occurs an error : "not connected". Fortunately, changing the mount type through the webserver works well. Fred |

I experience a similar problem. I could not update the SHC from 1.1.5 to 1.2.3 via Wireless connection. Just reboots without updating. It worked via direct USB connection though. I used English firmware. Best regards Stephan |
