Release 2.3.0 is now available on the SF site https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuser/files/Mark2/Software/V2.3.0/

Highlights:

Changes in Version 2.3.0

Enhancements

* The Arduino now saves it's current position in EEPROM (non-volatile memory). It will remember the position it was at between

  focuser and client application restarts / disconnects. The chooser dialog has been modified to enable you to override the initial

  starting position if required.

* Some users in countries other than the UK reported issues with the temperature not being interpreted correctly due to the use

  of a dot as the decimal separator. This has been removed and the Arduino now returns the temperature in 100ths of a degree (no decimal).

  The driver has been updated to divide by 100 prior to returning the value to the calling client program. Windows should put

  the correct decimal separator in the value according to the PC's international settings.

  I have also blocked the reading of the 1-wire temperature sensor whilst the motor is moving as it interferes with smooth movement.

  During movement it will return the last read value. When the motor is not moving it will re-read the sensor. This is because many

  client applications seem to read it every second which seems excessive. The FocusAAF2 test program now also reads every second for testing.

Bug fixes

* Changed some int variables to unsigned int

* Fixed a minor bug in the motor hi/lo speed detection - it was only working in one direction.

Can anyone who had problems with the temperature decimal separator please test to confirm this is now fixed. Thanks.

I still haven't fixed the driver registration issue - I wanted to get these enhancements out asap.

Enjoy.

I from Ukraine. I repeated your scheme. It is very happy. But I suffered with temperature sensor, I tried to determine week but anything it was impossible I didn't change to the razdelena a comma for a point yet. Очань good project. Thanks (Izvenyayus for the translation in English isn't strong)
