    Hello,

    Is there a text file or document, describing what changes were made in the User Manual? I printed off the v297 version of MFP2 and a few days ago, I got a message saying that the file had been updated to v298. Since the manual is 111pages long, so I don't have to reprint he whole document again, I was hoping that there is a change log of sorts, so I can just reprint the part of the manual that was changed. Is anything like this available?

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew

    Nope, that would be too hard as sometimes the flow on effect of an insertion would make everything else that follows appear on different pages. I am also not paid to do this, do not charge for this, and only have a limited time available, perhaps if this was a commercial endeavour then things might be different. There is only so much I can do.

    The document is relatively stable and has been for some time. Basically all that is updated now is the screenshots of the ASCOM driver and the Windows App or new features.

    The recent changes were to align some changes in Temperature Compensation to match the ASCOM interface v3 for focusers (moves are now allowed when TC is on - please do not ask me why).

    The other change was about the windows app, which related to the introduction of the refresh focuser position on the extra settings page, so this was added into the documentation.

    Regards
    Robert

    Ages ago I separated the windows and ascom stuff out of the pdf from the other hardware and theory - then I kept being asked to put it all back together - It aint easy doing this stuff.
