Problem: EQMOD doing random spiral search

[lukebl]

My NEQ6 mount is controlled via EQMOD on my laptop.

It's recently developed an odd fault when the wired gamepad controller (used to manually go L, R Up or Down) is plugged in. After slewing to a chosen object, it immediately starts doing a spiral search and won't stop. It only does this when the controller is plugged in. I've tried a different controller, but get the same issues.

What on earth's going on?

By default Spiral search is assigned to Button 1. Has your joystick config file got corrupted? 'Load Defaults' may help.

Hi Alan. Thanks for the advice, but I’ve looked at the settings and loaded the defaults but still have the problem. I’m thinking that it might be an idea to completely uninstall and reinstall EQMOD, but haven’t tried it yet as it took ages to configure it in the first place!

Have you tried changing the cable connecting the controller?
