v4.1.13758 manual filter wheel offsets

[celkins]

Robin,
the offset boxes in the manual filter wheel setup only allow tiny values to be entered, like a few hundred: it would be very helpful if these at least allowed for uint16, and even better if larger than that, please?

Thanks,
Carl

Hi Carl,

wow, you must have a small step size and a large number of focuser steps! The current limits are +/- 2000, but I can easily increase, so I will set +/- 50000 and that will hopefully be enough!

cheers,

Robin

Thanks: I guess it is a pretty small step - there's a 200 step stepper motor driving a 10:1 fine focuser via a roughly 2:1 timing belt link, on a C11 primary mirror focuser... it certainly takes ~750 steps to go through the focus curve.
