Hi there,
many thanks for the great project that has worked wonderfully so far.
Since the Nina version mentioned above and the current ASCOM driver version 2.8.4. there is a problem. (Version 2.8.1 works!)
The Nina <> Ascom connection works up to a position command. Then Nina gives an error message:
"Focuser cannot be moved.." or similar.
Attached is the log file.
Greetings Udo
The asom drivers pass conform and the test results are posted with the driver.
It seems recently that every time that NINA brings out another release it has a magic way of screwing something up, that worked well before. I will look at the log you provided. There are a high number of requests in a very short time frame (1ms might not be an issue for a pc - but for serial comms at 9600 a heap of requests in that time frame, any embedded developer would probably start shaking their head about now). What I can tell you straight off the bat though is that the core code in the ASCOM driver of 284 is exactly the same in 281.
If I find an issue would you be willing to help test any modified driver?

... of course I'm ready for this. Thank you for your fast reply.
I have tested the two driver versions in alternation several times.
Of course with complete uninstallation and installation: Version 2.8.1 works, the new version 2.8.4. it does not work. Unfortunately, I don't have an older version of NINA than version BETA0045. I don't know where to download it either.

the actual name of the firmware filename, the .ino file that is loaded into the arduino ide to program the controller. There a a number of them for different driver types so I need to know which one.

... Yes that was it!
The driver version 2.8.4. now works with both Nina ver. Beta45 and the current version of SGP.
Thank you and clear skies!

Thanks alot guys! I am trying the myFP2 for the first time and i was confused why it was not working with nina and working fine with the windows program. Lucky this was solved just a few days ago! Cant wait to get it out now.

I am using beta24 which appears to work well.

What is the name of the firmware file that you programmed the controller with?
Hi there,
Firmware is 3.12!

is myFP2_DRV8825_312?
in file serialcomms.h
goto line 291
Serial.print("New target="); Serial.println(tmppos);
and change to
//Serial.print("New target="); Serial.println(tmppos);
then reprogram controller
... Yes that was it!
