The drive cable is wound the wrong way! The end going up should be closest to the mirror box. Must be a real pain trying to 'thread' that up in there as is. Also - indeed the drive roller is over

Gary, Thanks for the quick response. ?I attached two pictures. ?The cable stop hardware has minimized the problem but not stopped it. ?The one question i have is the spool is not located directly

Mike, The cable stop - has it eliminated the issue? If not please send a picture of the cable wrapped around the drive roller when disengaged and a 2nd picture when engaged. Also a picture of the

Occasionally the declination cable comes loose and unwinds from the spool drive. ?I have installed the cable stop made by Markless Astronomics and piece a piece of Gorilla tape that has minimized the

WOW! I don't think I remember ever having had someone break a UC AZ motor shaft! It is pretty hearty material - stainless steel shaft material. So you'll need to contact me direct,

I have a 18 in UC, it has a broken drive shaft on AZ servo. Anyone know where I can find a replacement shaft? ?I work on RC helicopters servos and looks like I could install a new one made to specs.

There is a delay on power up - whichever 'unit', the ServoCAT or the Argo Navis, comes up last, from that point it takes about 12 seconds before you'd hear the beep. More than likely you heard,

Looking for a troubleshooting procedure for the following: 15" classic Obsession with Argo-Navis & Gen 2 ServoCat and powered ground board. When I used it last month everything worked fine but I did

Here is the latest update on my issue. I sent the unit back to Gary, who tested the unit while we were on the phone together.? My unit worked as designed, i.e.. 1.? My unit connected fine to

Bentley, Please re-read what I just sent - the DSC connection, which is the means by which the ServoCAT knows how fast to run (for tracking) and how far it is to an object (for GOTO) is only through

Hello Gary, Thanks for the reply. I currently have both the RS232 and the USB ports connected on the Nexus DSC and the ServoCat.? I have a friend who is using Nexus DSC with ServoCat, he has only the

Bentley, The only way for the ServoCAT to "talk" to the digital setting circle is through the RS232 serial port. This is required no matter what else you're doing. IF you want to also have a

I've been working with Keith Venables (co-creator of the ScopeDog alt-az drive for dobs) in order to make his eFinder (plate-solving alignment system: http://astrokeith.com/equipment/efinder/ ) work

That’s great George! I haven’t had my scope out in months due to a back injury. I am hoping to do so in a few weeks

I finally had a night I could try out my own driver! I verified that move axis, syncing, and getting scope status + position worked. I couldn't get GOTO working, but Gary and Peter reminded me I need

Alex: I am sorry for the delayed response to your post.? I initially tried POTH with Peter's driver, with the same (non-)results.? During our conversations, Peter suggested I try ASCOM Device Hub.

Hi Gary, It has been a very long time since we have had conversation. Good to hear from you. Congratulation on your upcoming retirement. So, you think you are busy now, wait until you fully retire. I

Bob, Good to hear from you - long time no hear, I hope you are doing well. So there are 2 ports on the ServoCAT but they are not the same protocol - they are not even the same purpose. One is for the

Paul, very strange to have two connections sharing the same protocol. Seems like a recipe for disaster. Many moons ago when I had the Gen1 SC I was testing some beta software that allowed a Windows CE

Bob: When I am not connected to the PC and am just using the Nexus DSC to control the SC, there are two wired connections between the Nexus and SC: 1.? Nexus USB port to SC USB port 2.? Nexus Serial
