Good day.
I have used a Scopedome 2m without much problems for 6 months – I just changed the controlling laptop and thought I entered exactly the same values as before – The old computer is dead … I cannot check those values now.
An issue just appeared where the dome rotates more than it should: I visualise the rotation with a webcam to see what happens.
When just testing it, running with the ScopeDome Arduino Dome v10f13, shutter closed so as not to confuse it:
Goto 90 degrees, goes more than that
Goto 180 degrees, goes more than that
Goto 316 degrees will bring it approximately to the starting point (359 degrees is home)
Goto FindHome just moves slightly, 1 degree or less then Home reached and reading shows 359 degrees (Home).
I repeated exactly the same 3 times.
I switched off and on, same issue.
The values entered in Config/Card are: Encoder value for 360 degrees = 3681 clk (should I change this?) and in Config/Dome Home sensor set at 360 deg and Max rotate 360 deg.
Please advise.
Thank you very much

Please at first select your dome type in Config window, and next prass „Restore default” button. Next enter your Home Sensor position and observatory geographical coordinates. Next enter: x,y,z, gem parameters.
That solved my problem, thank you very much
