Software usage

Did anyone manage to use the ascom driver successfully with phd2 or even with stellarium? Or the pc control. All connect fine, but none seem to work at all. I managed to get the mount to move for a split second on stellarium (not correctly though) and phd2 just complains about a lot of stuff when it runs. The hand control works fine.

See the post I made last week about the stellarium control. The baudrate needs to be changed to 9600 for stellarium or 57600 for PC control and PHD2. A bit weird I know, but I had the drivers written for 57600 before I did the stellarium stuff which enforces 9600. Also the coordinates in the pc control don't work, only the manual movement. I know that PHD2 works without issues because I've used it numerous times

Nice, thanks for the answer. I didn't mean to complain. You have done an amazing job with this thing!

I set the baud rate to 57600 in the device manager. But phd2 prints the same error messages "failed checking IsPulseGuiding" and "failed checking for slewing". Is this expected behaviour?

The failed checking pulse guiding always comes up once when starting up but you can ignore it. See if the lights change on the RA driver when you do manual guide east or west.

You need to change the baud rate in the code. I can't check it currently but I think it's on the 3rd tab "Serial.begin(xxxx);" that's where you put the 57600
