    Hi everyone!
    I changed the driver board from the ULN2003 to the L298N. If I press the "Get" button in the Settingstab, it refreshes but the old board (ULN2003) stillappears. Were can I change the version of the driver board i use? Do I have to reprogram the Arduino?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best Klaus
    btw: the rotator works even though it has the "wrong" driver board in the "setting" tab

    Do I have to reprogram the Arduino?

    YES

    If you do not, but simply change the hardware, that does noit work. Your hardware was configued to use a ULN2003 driver. So unless you reprogram the firmware (having set L298N in config.h then everytime the firmware runs it still thinks its using a ULN2003.

    If you make a change to any hardware then yes, you have to generate new firmware in Arduino IDE and reprogram the controller
