ZWO EAF Step Limit Work around

tjey

I'm trying to see if I can work around the issue that the EAF can only move roughly 65,000 steps.

It doesn't appear that the ASCOM Driver has the ability so reset the step count, so is there any other way to do reset the step count? Some other focusers have custom actions in their ASCOM Drivers that look like they may support this.

Any chance there might be possibility of this being fixed via a firmware upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

tjey Hi tjey, do you mean set 65000 to sero? Like this

After pressing the Set zero button

I'm looking to do exactly the same thing, but from C# code. I think calling setPosition should do this.

By the way, I think I'm finding some issues with calling other APIs if getNum hasn't been called first. Is that actually true?

tjey Yes, you should call EAFGetNum() first before you call other APIs.
