Mount Plate Solve Problem

#1

Post by nexusjeep »

Hi,
I have had an issue with the plate solve and sync button on the mount controls when connected to my EQ6-R with EQDirect cable and EQMod, the button lights up and animates if I click it but does not capture the frame and then plate solve and sync. If I manual go to the plate solve tool that functions fine. I have had this issue in the 30th Dec and the 10th Jan release if I go back to the 8th Dec version it works fine. Not sure what other information I can give as there are no errors or warnings being displayed it just does not appear to invoke the plate solve and sync.

Cheers
Nick

Hi Nick,

Can you post your SharpCap log after you've made an attempt to run the plates solving the latest version please? I've just tested the latest code with a simulation camera and plate sulphur seems to run fine for me so it may be something specific to your setup. Hopefully there will be some information in the logs.

Cheers, Robin

Okay, installed the latest version again and it is now working perfectly so not sure why but will keep an eye on it and if it plays up again will collect the log file.
