13-10-2026 Firmware Update 322-10-03 I have uploaded an interim firmware fix for a number of isses. surrounding motor movement and pushbuttons as specified by Gery in other posts. This firmware addresses a number of other fixes and code improvements since 322-10. Some of these are from the next major release (322-11), so there is quite a lot of changes here. In essence 322-10 was broken in many ways and could not work reliably or not at all. My apologies for this. I had posted 322-10-02 yesterday...
I am in limbo, changes have been made but as yet, have not gone back to do the testing. Things have just been so chaotic recently, behind on everything, todo list is crasy as full.

I have removed the ASCOM2/ASCOM3 drivers form /hidden into the ASCOM Driver folder. https://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinoascomfocuserpro2diy/files/ASCOM%20DRIVERS/ I tested them both today. The ASCOM3 driver revison is 306 because there was a name change within the file, that may have referenced "ascom2" driver. Not sure if this caused the issue you had/have. Delete the files you have downloaded from ./hidden and use the ones I posted today (link above). Robert

Good to know. Thanks. I had failed to copy the PB changes (from the test program) into the last update I gave you, but turns out just as well, cause sometimes a light switches on and one sees with a better clarity and understanding of all the interactions and possibilities; that there is a larger picture here than just a mere push button press. Ive been set back due to computer issues (OS + H/W, mine + friend) since friday last so that has consumed significant time and yet to finish those as bits...
thanks I will take a look at that tommorrow my time.
