Flextube Auto tracking probs

[Tribal-Wolf]

Been using my dob for a couple of weeks now, just manual tracking and generally using the handset for moving about the sky. A few days ago I set up the tracking as per the instructions using a digital compass to find North and going through it as I thought it described, it seemed simple enough and I'm quite a technically minded person so wasn't concerned. I tried it the two nights ago and tonight and it is NOT tracking at all, it does move as I tried it when setting it up but it does not seem to follow anything and in fact seems to go the wrong way.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, have you put the date in the right format, month/day/year and the correct coordinates, I'd also check the power pack is fully charged.

It's just the auto not the goto(yet), power pack is a 40ah and fully charged.

Fixed it now after rectifying Sky-Watchers 'numpty' build quality.

Lol, they must have used a hammer to build it. First time I'd ever seen a clutchless clutch :-/
