This may need to be a different thread, but something else that has been happening at L5 and L6 even with updating the firmware.?

When i click the DEC or RA button on the touch screen OR the bottom physical buttons it will occasionally slew the wrong direction. If I press the opposite button for each direction it continues along the same pathway.?

So for example if the if I am trying to slew the RA motor to the west I would click the appropriate button. I will press the touch screen or physical button to slew to the west. However rather than slewing west it will slew to the east. I will release, and when I hit the button again it will continue slewing in the same, wrong, direction. when I go back to the opposite directional button. It will continue to slew east. It is not until I repark at counterwieght down, unpark and try to slew again that this will fix.?

This same issue will occur with the Dec axis.?
?
It is not everytime but does happen consistently.?
?
What will make this happen more often than not is when I try to manually slew the RA and Dec axis simultaneously. It happens far more often in the Dec axis than the RA.?
?
Any thoughts here?

I don't think this is related to my initial problem as there usually is a clear fix by re-parking the mount.?

I think I've observed this on Gemini L6.1 and HC 1.6.3.? Usually I can see this when I am in a hurry but I noticed the same thing.? I don't slew much manually so I may have just been missing it all this time. It is reminiscent of the old Gemini 1 controller when you wanted to change speeds with a double press but the issue here is that a double press of the membrane keypad causes the mount to continue in the same direction.? I have mostly seen it when using the dual axis slew or movement.?

Good catch there!?
