Yes, we really should read the instructions more thoroughly. But your help is still indispensable to us at the moment. It just makes us feel more confident that we're not doing anything wrong. We'll be at the dome today. We want to install the firmware there. And then check or set the home position. We'll let you know how it goes... 

Will all settings be retained during a firmware update?

There is a link to it in the Help menu of the program.

When you start the program, it informs you that you have an outdated version of the card's firmware and that you need to install a new version. I recommend that you read the firmware upgrade instructions.

The card finds the home sensor itself after command: GoTo: Finde Home.

The position of the home sensor is defined in the Config>Dome window.

“On Home Sensor position encoder must have value 0.”
How do I get the dome into this position? And how does the dome then know where north is, for example?

An error message appears. 😶 We hope that everything will work again after the firmware update. Can you reassure us about this? Please bear with us a little longer!

One more question: We have updated the driver (5.5.30). Now we also need to update the firmware, right? We have a corresponding note in the Card About dialog.

Home sensor is part of scopedome card mounted close to dome motor.
