Arduino ASCOM Focuser Pro2 DIY / Discussion / General Discussion: Windows 10 myFocuserPro2 + L293D crush

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for the project!

Now the problem - myFocuserPro2 for the L293D shield and NEMA 8 crashes in Win10, while myFocuserPro2mini runs without any problem. Below is the output from the log, the program always stops at exgactly the same point.

What's interesting, myFocuserPro2 runs flawlessly with the ULN2003 /28BYJ-48 combo on the same computer .

Another problem - the backlash compensation doesn't work. I did not get how to set it from mini version, so set manually myfocuser.backlashsteps_in and myfocuser.backlashsteps_outto 40 in Arduino code, but seems the trick doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

David Dvali

Hi David
please see
https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/files/CODE%20ARDUINO%20FIRMWARE/

for the latest firmware 268. This shoould fix both issues.

Regards
Robert

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your early reply!

Getting "no response" error with the 268 firmware in both, the full and the mini version:

Hi David
I see u are using an older version of the Windows app. Please download and install the latest ones.
I believe the problem is fixed with the latest versions. Previous versions will not work with the 268 firmware or a few releases before that

Regards
Robert
