Troubles with Moonlite Rotator

$

From what I see you have a MoonLite DRO box with a focuser and rotator connected. The focuser is connected to Motor 1 and the step reading on the box is 7679 and the rotator is connected to motor 2 and the step reading is 0000. Is that correct?

Are the focuser and rotator set this way in the MoonLite driver setup? Focuser on port 1 and rotator on port 2.

The reason I ask is that if I take the rotator position in steps and the angle reported, then apply the conversion from steps to angle in reverse I get a step size of 4.14 which is the conversion between steps and microns for a focuser. For a rotator the conversion should be more like 94 to 100 steps per degree. If that was applied then the rotation value would be sensible.

It will be worth checking that the driver setup has the rotator device set as a rotator and that the connections to the motors are correct.

Hope that helps,

Chris
