Updating Mesu software and firmware

[Skipper Billy]

I am thinking about updating the firmware and software in my Mesu mount.

Q. Does it retain all the settings (the settings I have worked so hard to get spot on!)

Any helpful online resources ?

I have all summer to sort it out if it goes wrong - I will backup the current files too. 😉

For the benefit of anyone asking themselves the same question that I posted above - updating the software and firmware DOES RETAIN all settings.

Phew !!! 😉

Thanks David for updating your thread.  Do you mind if I ask what you had to set up?  Was it more than the standard stuff on purchase?

Hi Adam

It was pretty much all the basic setup stuff but the one thing I didn't want to mess up (because it took so long to get right!) was the over pole and under pole settings along with what should be reversed after a Meridian Flip and making it play nicely with SGP and PHD2.

Thankfully it appeared to be saved and last night it worked completely unattended inc a Meridian Flip etc.

There are no obvious differences in the latest firmware and software but I like to be up to date - especially whilst I have time to put it right if it had gone wrong!

Are you talking about the latest sitech software?

What does it offer that your current version doesn’t?
