    Trying to enable step size on the Controller and it Does Not Enable.
    I go to Settings>Extra Settings> Put in my Step Size "1.2 Microns", > Check MArk in the Enable Step Size in Controller?
    CLick Close, THen I Connect to Controller,
    Settings>Step Size> Check StepSize i get back 1.2Microns
    Settings>StepSize>Check if Setsize is enabled in controller
    I get back =FALSE
    Seems to be not saving or updating the Check Mark
    When does it update controller. if you have to be disconnected to set it?
    thanks

    stepsize and stepsize enabled are remembered in two places, in the controller itself and alo the windows app settings.

    The connect routine in the windows app (and I suspect the ascom driver as well) does not at this time update stepsizeenabled but updates stepsize (READ BUG).

    Will change it and post an update version tomorrow. thanks for finding this.

    Cheers

    hi Robert,
    while your in there, i also noticed that the temp doesn't save to Fahrenheit for us USA Peeps
    Can it stay on Fahrenheit without connection to PC.?
    And the Ascom doesnt read Fahrenheit no matter what i try.
    thanks for all that you do

    Hi BJ
    Updated winapp, miniwinapp, ascom drivers for
    1. stepsize and stepsizeenabled are sent to controller on connect()
    2. The F/C is now always sent to controller to set mode on connect(), should now be fixed (ie stay in F)
    3. ASCOM reading of F should now work

    To enable this (F) permanently in the controller will require a controller firmware update. I'll see what I can do for next release of firmware.

    Cheers
    Robert
