Please check wire no 38 (Close/Com/Open pins ) connection to the inverter.

Shutter open/close issue

Guillaume — Wed, 13 May 2026 06:55:36 +0000

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with shutter.

There is no problem to open/close it manual switches connected to Wireless shutter box. It opens enterely and stops with limit switch, works also fine for close.

However, when using the keyboard of ScopeDome card 2.0, no way to open/close the shutter (of course the shutter link is available).
When pushing both keys, one can hear the relay switch in the Wireless shutter box.

Does anyone have an idea of the issue ?

Sincerely,

Guillaume

RE: Arduino drive configuration SideOfPier

This procedure will either retrieve the pierSide value from the telescope or calculate it itself. This is also the case when no option is selected.

If My.Settings.Def_SideOfPier_Use, My.Settings.Def_SideOfPier_Calculate and My.Settings.Def_SideOfPier_From_Diagram are boolean values, corresponding to that three checkboxes in configuration, then if all three of them are set to false, SideOfPier_Calculate will be always left with value PierSide.pierUnknown (depends of course on what will inverse do with that value) and that value will be returned according attached code snippet. That applies, if there is not additional logic of course...

Am I right?

Side of pier will be calculated by driver.

@admin OK, clear, I understand this the same way. But what exactly happens if will be no checkbox checked? Such state is possible.

Selecting multiple data source options for the telescope's SideOfPier makes no sense. Only one will ever work.
Of course, you can always use Invers the PierSide value.

I want to ask about driver configuration dialog, page "Telescope" - there is group box with lebel SideOfPier choices, this one:

119

Option ""Invers SideofPier" is clear, but it is possible select multiple of first 3 options. What means, if I select/check more than 1 option e.g. "Use from scope" and "Calculate" together. What is the logic, is defined some priority or what happens, where will be SideOfPier taken from?

Thank you

RE: After driver update to 5.5.30, Shutter moves partially to open, then closes

Ok, I uninstalled both driver, and reinstalled again 5.5.30.

I have again both Driver (teh LS, and the 5.5.30.

In the "about", I still have 5.5.27.

I still have the shutter issue

I still have the find home issue

I still have the message "the dome rotates too slow"

I have a "bad link message as well now.....

I thinks this driver is corrupted
