I am looking forward.
Synchronization with stars can not be done yet,
The encoder also worked on wireless LAN.

Can a DSC be used in case of power loss, so that the system knows exactly how is the mount pointing?

Aren't DSC also relative encoders? So if power is lost and resumed, their values are reset too.

ok, but I was under the impression that for example in high end mounts, you could disconnect the power, turn the mount RA/DEC around, reconnect and the system would know exactly where it is. Am I missing something or what I'm talking about is not DSC.

I am grateful that you have always helped me.

I tried both the DSC driver and the SkyWatcher API driver.

I have heard that both drivers are correcting the alignment tab items now, but there are definitely two items missing at present.

Please reflect it at the time of correction.

1. Setting the home position
There is no initial value setting as the origin of the direction of the telescope.
If you do not set this item you will not be able to determine the starting point of the encoder, so it will not be possible to introduce it accurately.

2. Mount selection
It is necessary to select either ALTAZ or Equatorial Mount and a calculation formula for that mount.

At present it shows the behavior as calculated by equatorial mount.

Please consider it when correcting the driver.

I would like to use this driver with the Orion Intelliscope. I am having difficulty in configuring it and using it. Are there any instructions available regarding how to configure and use this driver?
