emmanuel created a new topic ' AP experimental' in the forum. 6 years ago

Hi,

My name is Emmanuel and I am new on this forum.

While setting up my installation, I've encountered a problem with the park position 3 and the experimental AP driver.
When using the park position 3, the park / unpark cycle does not work properly. The unpark from p3 is OK, but during the park to P3, the mount slews to some position it fails to reach because the travel is going through altitude below 0... This has to do with the Azimuth set to 0:00:00. if I set the same Az value than the one used by the ascom driver (359:59:50) it works flawlessly with the indi driver. the park/unpark works as expected. I can reproduce the problem without indi using the bookmark feature of the ascom driver. I reported this subject to AP support which basically says it is normal...

Before to submit a pull request that would prevent the default to be set to az:0:0:0, I'd like to know if anyone has encountered this problem and if we can consider the ascom workaround as an acceptable way to go.

thanks
Manu
