new data download with time locn from setup status tab

Gday pgtuck

The warnings re PEC are because the old stored PEC model never got changed

to the new PEC formats in 4.2G

Just go to the "Setup > Telescope > Smart Drive" menu

Under that select RA PEC and do a factory reset

then select DEC PEC and do a factory reset.

That wil rebuild the file data properly and my app will stop complaining

More re your data shortly

OK, the data you got does not appear to be fresh after a boot

ie there is a big difference between LST1 and LST2, and that cant ( Normally ) happen

unless you have done an align and got a big error, or manually editied something

What i need is

turn off the scope

turn it on and let it fix

As soon as if fixes, and before doing anything else,

connect my app and run the Time/Locn test

Post the results

This will tell us exacly what status it is in on booting.

OK, you can turn the Smart drive OFF if you want as its not needed

All you needed to do was rebuild it to suit the changed data structure

and my app wont complain :-).

In the first screengrab, ( just after getting a fix ),

you see top centre the  lable "GPS data valid"

This worked as the GPS was on and had fixed.

The second grab has wrong data from the GPS and the lable

says "GPS data may be suspect"

This is because you ran the update 30mins later and as such the

GPS had shut down, and needed a cold start.

That said, the last plot shows the correct local date time and UTC

and both LST1 and LST2 are identical, ie it got set properly

They normally only every desynchronise if you have a really bad align

or something plays with the system date after booting.

Soooo, just on a hunch, do you ever connect to it using NINA

( or any other app ) after getting a fix????

I only use the autostar 2 hand controller or, occasionally scope boss wifi connection.
