I have tested my mount. It seems to not have the eq setting. Probably this fw doesnt have either. Unless the synscan app is blocking... but I've tried up to old ver 1.0

If anyone had the same problem:
I spent a month searching this firmware and Skywatcher itself couldn't help me.
Fortunately, after dozens of emails to dozens of telescope distributors, someone could give it to me.
There it is attached.
Also the upload does work without the hand controller.
A bit disappointed that Skywatcher doesn't put it on its website.
Many Thanks!! I would like to hear your tale to find this file!

Is this the version of the firmware that has EQ tracking option enabled if you hold down button 5 as you turn the mount on do you know please?
I believe this firmware has this EQ setting. My virtuoso has this page in the manual. Using the wifi adapter it shows the under Motor version 2.16.A1 . And his file is v0216.
Unless the version without this setting hasnt changed the version number, i guess it supports it. If your version does not support it, can you please check what version is being reported by your mount with synscan?

Hi. Just checked mine. It has the equatorial setting. Yay. Probably Antoine's version has eq setting as well. As you said, it deactivates when you connect to synscan. I don't know if that's true for those handheld gotos. You can check if it has equatorial mode by hearing the mount. When in normal mode, with your ear inside the battery box, you will hear nothing. ignore the beeps. In equatorial mode you will hear a lot of countinous clicks.
