Thank you for testing. Sorry for the issues you had rebooting, and I'm glad to hear that you were able to recover. I'm not able to reproduce the issue with my nyx. Is there any more info you can share? Your mount version, firmware version, tha state of the mount when it was rebooting? Was it tracking?

Also: did you disconnect them connect the indi driver?

Hello James,
not a problem, as I could recover with power cycling. Firmware version is 1.22. I think it was in siderial tracking mode, before the reboot I tried to switch between the four tracking modes, including King, but I think I switched back to Siderial before trying the reboot command.
Clear skies,
Klaus

yes, I did disconnect and reconnect the INDI driver. After this reconnect both motors did not work.

Thanks Klaus, I'll try with different firmware versions. It would be helpful to understand if this ever happens when rebooting from the windows unity app. If this issue is restricted to older firmware, then I can disable it selectively.

I re-tried a second time, this time everything worked as expected, also immediately after reboot: reboot, disconnect, wait until beep sequence, reconnect, both motors work.
Starting with Windows Unity app and trying reboot there didn't show any issue either.
Updated to latest Unity and Firmware 1.25.2 now.

Kind regards,
Klaus

A minor observation I forgot to mention: After disconnect and reconnect, the speed setting in the GUI did show 900x (that was the speed set before), but the real speed setting was far slower, I suppose only 32x or 64x. Should this GUI field be automatically set to the right value after reconnect?

Kind regards, Klaus

Yes it should. That's another fix I'll put on the list.

Great. I'll try and reproduce the issue on older firmware. If it only happens there, then I will disable the feature for older firmware.

I confirmed that the motor failure after reboot is an issue with older firmware.

I switched to 0.26 firmware using unity on windows, and was able to reproduce the issue. Doing a reboot from windows using 0.26 caused the motors to stop working after the reboot completed. This is a firmware issue that exhibits under unity/windows and indi. I will disable the feature under indi if using older firmware.

I have not yet found how to get the firmware version. It looks like the firmware manager does this in the unity app, and it seems a bit involved, so for now I will just leave this as an issue if you are using older firmware.

I am now looking at switching the mount commands to use the mount specific "flip" command. I'm not sure if this makes sense though as I'm not sure if there is any difference between doing a goto, and doing a flip with the NYX. On other mounts there are differences, and in some cases the "flip" command specific to the mount is more reliable than using a goto command with western/eastern limits set. Does anyone here know if there is a difference on the NYX? Has anyone been using meridian flips with the NYX?
