After the telescope has accepted the GPS data it can be disconnected.Short-on blink every two seconds: telescope has accepted GPS data.This may not work indoors and normally takes about one minute Short-on blink every second: determined date, time, latitude and.

Rapid blinking for 5 seconds: no telescope found, switching to 4800* baud NMEA.

Older GPS-NX02 and GPS-NX01 receivers require a firmware update (contact us) to resolve this problem for use with StarSense handsets. Or detected Vixen StarBook in non-INIT state (requires power on/off reset).

Rapid sustained blinking: detected old NexStar firmware (requires update).

Short-off blink every second: determined telescope type.

The GPS-NX01 and GPS-NX02 receiver status LED indicates:.

The GPS-NX02 can also be used with the Meade LX200GPS, LX200R, LX200ACF, LX400ACF and RCX400.

If MyScope can do that, communications with the PC are working. Can *it* find the scope on the COM ports? If so, it will be able to fetch a bunch of the operating info from the scope. connect the scope-to-PC cables and start up his program (MyScope). Next test (do the above first): After you've entered the time and date does the scope just sit there properly? (from your earlier note it sounds like it does) Load Andrew's MyScope app into your PC. and the motor control when it's NOT trying to download uses different areas of the firmware than the Downloading code invokes. Now turn on the scope and manually provide the date and time (you can do this in the day, but give it "night" times and work from memory or star charts "what's up") and *then* try to GoTo (or Align) : Does it operate properly? (this is a test of the motor boards under "full control") Do the alignment slews (and the after-aligning sidereal drive) operate properly? (no run-aways) ((if you are doing daytime testing, just tap ENTER to accept each alignment star)) I'm trying to have you "walk through" various zones of the programming. If you turn Settings/Telescope/GPS Align to "OFF" (enter) Then turn off the scope. Let's approach this one (quite comprehensive) step at a time. i've read back through the thread to see the original complaint.

I don't recall the software path behind that sensor board check, but it's possible that if you turn OFF the GPS alignment and turn off Auto Align (choose One Star or Two Star) that the scope will ignore the lack of that board (if you don't ask for its services, it won't try to find it). Sometimes simply re-seating those connectors can clear up problems like this.

Another possibility is that the cable coming from the Autostar (the board behind the power panel) may have become loose (or its connector pins oxidized) at the Autostar end.

The flat cable wrapped around the DEC axle can crack with age and flexing. Remove the cover: That reveals the cards. You access that area by removing the "knob" at the axis (it can can be simply unscrewed), then the metal disc beneath it, and the bunch of allen screws running around the fork's edges that secure the cover plate. Frequently problems with that are due to the wiring becoming loose or damaged. The auxiliary sensor board is located in the "left" fork (the one with the GPS lump on top).
