I don't really use the HC much other than to set safety limits and manually slew around after I adjust the worm gear. During the last few days I've been using it more often for those purposes and I noticed something I haven't before:
After powering on the mount (CWD, cold start) and starting a slew in the RA axis (holding the HC screen up and pressing the physical button on the back left with my left index finger) the mount will start to rotate (OTA west and counterweights east). Let's say that I rotate the mount in this fishing by holding the same button until the mount has rotated 45 degrees to the west and then I release the button.
?
THEN, when I press the same button again, instead of rotating the same direction, the mount will start to rotate back to CWD... then I actually have to press the opposite button (physical button on back right of HC with my right index finger) for the mount to continue to rotate back to the west... from that point the buttons are reversed until cold start when it starts all over again.
no other settings changed. This has happened enough times that I'm not surprised it is happening.?
?
Is this typical? anyone else seeing this?
Is it just a matter of re-installing the HC firmware to maybe fix it?
It is a little annoying but I suppose it isn't the end of the world given how rarely I use the HC.
?
Thanks
