Version 0.7.13

  • Modified the pulse guiding command to better detect if the telescope is slewing
  • Added support for telescope hitting the mount (for older telescopes only)
  • Added post connect test to check that the serial port is operating correctly.
  • Added backlash compensation to the focuser
  • Added reverse direction support for the focuser
  • Added ability to unpark telescope (LX200-GPS only)
  • Refactored the backlash compensation so that less move commands are issued.
  • Adding support for enabling the Rts and Dtr signals on the serial port, this allows the driver to connect to Meade LS 8 telescopes. (Don’t turn it on for others as it’s the #505 cable does not use those connections)
  • Added support for setting the site elevation, it’s saved to the profile rather than the scope.
  • Low precision enhancements that will benefit LX200 Classic owners
