The only thing that I haven’t implemented is a means of perform a slew whilst pressing down on left, up, right, down buttons, since this was a bit more tricky to code and I have other means to move the telescope from Planetarium Program or Target Scripting. I mainly use it for accessing and modifying items in the telescope’s settings without being present in the observatory. My virtual handbox is not a standalone product but I can supply vb.net form & code if anyone wants it.

If MyScope can do that, communications with the PC are working.I’ve created a virtual handbox for my observatory control program, using MeadeGeneric Handbox Actions with the odd workaround where I had to perform an keypad action that was not originally present to the handbox action (lScrollUp and ScollDown), but I think Colin has now added these to the driver.

(this is a test of the motor boards under "full control") Do the alignment slews (and the after-aligning sidereal drive) operate properly? (no run-aways) ((if you are doing daytime testing, just tap ENTER to accept each alignment star)) I'm trying to have you "walk through" various zones of the programming. If you turn Settings/Telescope/GPS Align to "OFF" (enter) Then turn off the scope.

You access that area by removing the "knob" at the axis (it can can be simply unscrewed), then the metal disc beneath it, and the bunch of allen screws running around the fork's edges that secure the cover plate. Frequently problems with that are due to the wiring becoming loose or damaged. The auxiliary sensor board is located in the "left" fork (the one with the GPS lump on top).
