what is your AM5 azimuth position at switch on in Home position?

Fredvallee

Hi I have an AM5 last firmware (one with 288s Periodic error period). I noticed recently that when I switch it on in the home position (after having ordered a go to home position from the last NINA session successfully) It reports azimuth 180° which is obvisously wrong. If I ask to go to the home position, it does it without really moving and reports 360° or 0° which is ok. I do not remembre having notice this strange behaviour before but maybe I am wrong. Once I did not pay attention and asked for a goto I was fortunate to stop it before a dangerous move.
In other words I MUST trigger a goto home position after switch on before anything else. It looks strange and should be the correct position in azimuth at switch on.
Is this an observerd behaviour among some owners of AM5 ? Is it related to my last update to 1.7 something.?
Thanks for your help and advice,
Frédéric

My AM3 also reports 180 when parked with the ASIAir Plus on 2.4.1 and the mount on 1.7.3. I've had no functional issues however.

Thanks, maybe my problem is not related to this strange reporting from the mount. What I have done to reset is to connect the Hand controler and follow the manual to tune the home position and save it. The few next times when I switched on and connect to NINA the home position was 380° azimuth so a correct one.
Hope this helps. Frédéric
