Hello LinuxUser

pier side is back. You can use script cold_start_part1.sh to fetch/compile it from my repo.

You wrote that you completed the procedures successfully. Beyond that did you observe any failures/glitches?

Michael Fulbright's version worked only West of Greenwich but not East as Spartacus pointed out in this forum. Since files lx200ap.cpp and lx200ap_gtocp2.cpp contain the same error:

if (setAPUTCOffset(PortFD, fabs(utc_offset)) < 0)

I'd like to clean up the code and unify the driver for all GTOCPX and firmware versions (I still use D) as my next task.

Concerning renaming/checkout an earlier version I can not do much. That's up to Jasem. But if the current bleeding edge driver does not fail I'm recommending to keep it.

Kind regards, bye, wildi
