It's becoming more of an issue with Cord Wrapping for those of us using our Seestar remotely (mine is at Starfront). Will there be an update to the app and firmware to eliminate the cord wrapping problem? Most other goto mounts have that as an option to prevent cord wrapping when going to objects. Thanks!
I made a similar request last November in another post - https://bbs.zwoastro.com/d/20629-anti-cord-wrap
I currently use USB cables with magnetic connectors, but ideally there should be a software solution to this issue.

This anti-wrap feature has already been implemented. If you’ve updated to the latest version and are still experiencing cable wrapping issues, you may need to submit a log for further analysis.
Support@Seestar For future reference for those of us who look at old appends, could you please state the specific app and firmware levels rather than "latest version".
I, too, have never seen a statement regarding this capability.
When was this announced? I did not see that in any of the release notes. Thanks!

marvindj We did not present this as a feature statement but rather as a built-in mechanism. The anti-cable-wrap mechanism ensures that when the motor rotates, it actively avoids completing a full 360° turn. If it needs to cross the full-circle position, the system will automatically trigger a reverse rotation and take a longer path to prevent cable entanglement.
Support@Seestar Thanks for the clarification.
Can you state if this cord wrap capability is in App V2.5/Firmware V4.70 or in the next versions which appear to be in beta testing and not yet generally available?
Thanks
marvindj It has been modified in V2.5.
