In driver Help you have manual for this.

Hello,
I've just installed ScopeDome LS Driver Ver. 5.5.29.
After restarting ScopeDome Arduino RollOffRoof v10f13, I encountered the following message:
Wrong Firmware
Please install latest Card Firmware.
ScopeDome Driver cans only with proper firmware.
Proper version is | Dome: 6.6 | Shutte: 6.6

On card you have | Dome: 5.4 | Shutte: 5.4.

How can I solve this issue?

Kind Regards,

Thierry AUSSOURD

I want to look on configuration.

Nobody was in the observatory (it is locked and I have video surveillance on it) and no computer is even connected to the dome with USB. Clearly there exists circumstances that can cause it to revert to clamshell configuration.

* The dome is locked with a padlock that only I have the key for - no-one else has been in the observatory
* The control PC inside the dome is on a network that only I have access to
* The control PC inside the dome is not USB connected to the dome card - I had to physically go out there and connect the USB cable to re-program it to MASTER
* The "switch back to clamshell" has happened twice under these circumstances

I am rather sure that there exists conditions where the card will "revert to clamshell". My best guess is that it might be related to when the rollers generate sparks, and that this sends back electrical spikes that affect the card. But this is purely a guess - what is certain, however, is that I (or anyone else) have not been in the dome, connected a PC to the dome card with USB, and actively re-programmed it.

I have learned to recognise the symptoms now, and it does not take long to fix - so consider this more of a "FYI" in case someone else experiences something similar and you might eventually want to look into what the root cause is.

Thanks,
Christian

I personally suspect that someone accidentally reprogrammed the card.
