AZGTi in wire connected mode

[Avocette]

I have been running my AZGTi successfully via WiFi from my Astroberry RPi. However after a couple of hiccups recently I thought to try a solid cable connection. So I'm now the owner of a Lynx Astro EQDirect RJ12 cable. First attempts have not been great - slewing a few degrees from the NCP to Dubhe in the Plough, sends the scope on a long movement until it's pointing at the ground! I am searching for information on the home and park positions and hoping there's something obvious I've got wrong in the settings. Anyone got any suggestions?

Which firmware are you running?

I’m running v3.20 which was necessary to get the Dec guiding to work when I was using WiFi connection. Interestingly (and confusingly) the firmware echoed back to the RPi from the mount is 3.14......

Well - I may never know exactly what I did to sort this out, but it’s working now! I did link into the AZGTi via WiFi using SyncScan Pro and made some changes to the ‘hibernation’ settings, without apparent impact. However I turned the RPi etc on again today with cable connection to the AZGTi and yippee!

The Indi EQMOD driver is still reporting firmware 3.14...... but I may just live with that. Hopefully Dec guiding will still work (clear skies tonight).
