Thanks for the reply. I am sure the firmware is the latest as this mount is rather aged now. I don't have it in front of me at the moment but I will definitely check. As far as the command set, I think the version I referenced was from 2013 and was version 1.4. I will also update my INID drivers but I did do that a week or so ago.
Also, I have been away from INDI for awhile and forget where to enter the command value as you requested. I know how to activate the debug log but I can't recall how to issue the command.
Given your mount is „older“ there‘s little chance, that it supports the current command, which seems to be :GEP. I‘d expect this string and the mount’s response to show in the logs, when you enable them. Can you check, if :GEP is in the command set documentation you have? And if it supports pierside?
Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the information.
Regarding the command set, this is what is referenced pertaining to pier side:
********************************************************
Command:“:pS#“:
Response:"0“ East, “1” West.
This command returns the side of the pier on which the telescope is currently positioned. It is useful
for remote observatories whe re it is not possible for the viewer to see the mount. Initially, the
mount must be manually positioned on the proper pier side for the calibration object and cali brated
using the :CM# command.
Command: “:CM#“:
Response: “1"
Calibrate mount (Sync).
If in equatorial mounts or in RA DEC mode with Alt Azi mounts, Current
Right Ascension and Declination become the commanded Right Ascension and Declination
respectively. If in Alt Azi mode (only works with Alt Azi mounts), then the commanded Altitude
and Azimuth become the current. This command assumes that the mount has been manually
positioned on the proper pier side for the calibration object. This command is ignored if slewing is
in progress. This command should be used for initi al calibration. It should not be used after the
mount has been tracking unless it is known that it has not tracked across the meridian.
