PHD help!

[ChrisLX200]

PHD is simply not working right and I can't figure out why   Basically I'm getting DEC drift and PHD is not issuing any corrections. This is a typical graph of what I'm seeing:

You might see a couple of DEC corrections were issued right at the beginning of the trace and this is typical, after that no further corrections and I get a continuous drift (due to polar misalignment). I've tried the last 3 versions of PHD2, I've tried resetting everything back to default. No luck. This setup was working but only yesterday evening it started this behaviour, and I've spent hours tonight trying to fix it. The mount seems fine, it slew/centers and tracks (in RA) OK. The DEC motors are obviously working - the problem appears to be simply PHD not issuing correction commands? At my wits end on this now and packing it in...

not too sure why this is happening, but the only thing i do is in "tools" i select "enable server"

Me neither, but I just un-installed it completely (rather than installing over the old installation) then re-installed and now it's working again. Something was obviously broke with it.

must admit i stick with version 1.14, seems to work very well so i see little reason to update it at the moment

hmm had this issue too....

solved the problem somehow...don´t know if it was to set from north to auto...

...and set the declination mode to lopass...

but now it works fine!

hope it works for you too...
