Meridian flips failed again, please help me

It looks like you are using an Iopton mount. I am using the CEM60 and have no problems with the flip, other than centering and plate solve after the flip, but that is my fault because of a poor alignment procedure.
Here is what I do in the settings.
1. In the control panel under telescope and meridian set. What ever time in minutes you set this too, make sure the Ioptron hand controller meridian settings is longer than the number you set in SGP.
Example. SGP. 12 minutes ( 3 degrees). Ioptron 8 degrees.
Hand controller. Anything larger than 3 degrees. Also set meridian behavior to flip at position limit. Logic dictates if SGP has initiated the flip then the mount cannot be flipped after the fact.
SGP uses minute units while Ioptron uses degrees.
Looking at the dialogue box from the Ioptron Commander you have it set for 2 degrees. This means that SGP would have to be set at less than 2 degrees for SGP to intimate the flip.
Also in SGP under meridian set, adjust the settling time to between 30 and 60 seconds.
Hope this of help.
