Park issues with EQMOD

I am using a HitecAstro EQdir usb to EQ5 Synscan mount. I have setup AstroPi3 (Thanks Rob) and am gradualy testing all devices individually on Indi to avoid conficts. I have had success in connecting and manually controlling the mount but if I select Park the motors just run and the mount doesn't come to a stop.

I have looked at Indi control panel but am not sure what I should be looking for. The mount details report as EQ5 with firmware 0204. Is this the correct version and how would I update it.

Help appreciated.

In the INDI control panel, go to the tab for your mount and select Site Management. There click on Default and then save. This will set the park position in the mount to point north.

Many thanks, just a bit of a panic as I couldn't figure out how to 'reset' the position. Note to self, must read the documentation again. :-)
