I have had my telescope in mothballs for a few months now since I am building a new observatory under darker skies and I also lost all my files on my laptop, due to a HDD crash. I am wondering what software and firmware I would need to get my focuser up and running again. I believe there have been a few updates.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You would download the latest windows app. If you were using ascom, also the ascom driver
Then I would install the windows app. Then connect to controller. Then choose save settings where you save the controller settings to a file
Then if everything is ok use it.
If you wanted to then upgrade to latest firmware. Reprogram controller. Run windows app, connect to controller, choose restore settings and restore those from the saved file. Then you are up to date and good to go.
