Hello. I installed the v7 driver for my Linear mount, and it solved the meridian flip problems for SGP. However, when performing a center command from SGP, a dialogue box pops up that says "SlewToCommand" and I have to press the OK button before centring can proceed. This requires a manual intervention, which, of course, defeats the purpose of using SGP.

My guess is that this was a bug-testing item that didn't get removed in the release drivers?

Hello

Which version of ASCOM platform and SGP are you using?

Hi Stefano,
I saw this issue as well using the latest ASCOM version and my own test script. You may remember that I reported slewing errors in each of your recent drivers, so I used a small test script that just checks the two slewing commands (synchronous and asynchronous).
So slewing is still not working properly - even after three driver releases (620, 656 and now 700). Ok, 656 and 700 both are declared Beta, which is a strange numbering scheme...

Anyway, if you had run the ASCOM conformance check before releasing the driver you would have seen the dialog box error.

I can at least confirm that the asynchronous slewing now works again, after it was broken in 656 (which was released 1 year ago...). The dialog box is triggered when using synchronous slewing.

I have the same error using NINA 1.10hf3 : " I have to press the OK button before centring can proceed. This requires a manual intervention.." this is very very annoying indeed. ;-)

Hi everyone

After the notification of this behaviour we developed the driver the you can download at the following link:

In our test and according to feedback received by users, the driver worked fine, solving the issue.

The installation is quite simple and don't require a firmware/software update.

Best regards
