HI BrownRB, ive got it all working through the aplication myfocuserpro2 but i cant connect it to the ascom aplication, any trouble shooting suggestions? im using the L298N_M build
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Oh ok, I have downloaded the myFocuserPro application now, and it wont connect to that, but works fine with the myFocuserpro2. i have enabled logging ere is what it says,
sure thing,
I am using the L298N driver board with arduino Uni. it has the firmware Focuserv169_L298N_M.
windows app is myFocuserProL_1_0_2_6
and for the ascom driver, i have all of them installed, not sure if they work because i cant connect to the windows app
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If you have unmodified firmware 169 loaded, and are using app 1026, then there should be no issue.
To troubleshoot -
Connect the controller with USB cable to computer
Navigate to folder where firmware file is located - double click the Focuserv169_L298N_M.ino file
With Arduino IDE now open, program the controller with firmware
After programming upload is complete,
goto the serial monitor window
Type the code :GF#
The controller should respond with a text string - what is it?

ah you are correct i am using the from ascom version. i will swap it soon to test and let you know how it goes! if it still doesnt work ill do as you have said, thank you!

This is what the circuit looks like (it you want to use the Moonlite software)

Hi
This is the myFocuserPro site, not the myFocuserPro2. Your driver/app must match the hardware you build.
Enable logging in the driver and send me the logfile.
Oh ok, I have downloaded the myFocuserPro application now, and it wont connect to that, but works fine with the myFocuserpro2. i have enabled logging ere is what it says,
For myFocuserPro
all versions start with 1xx
That means firmware, windows app, ascom driver
For myFocuserPro2
all versions start with 2xx
That means firmware, windows app, ascom driver
You cannot run version 2 firmware with version 1 app/driver or vice versa. They must all match.
Please provide the filenames of the firmware, windows app and ascom driver that you are using.
sure thing,

From the logfile it looks like either the wrong firmware (v2) is being used or perhaps wrong com port speed (should be 9600). I am assuming that you have made no changes to the firmware file. If you have made changes, then first re-download the unchanged version
