Question

I am using BYE with the following ASCOM driver and am finding that, when I connect to my Meade micro-focuser from BYE via the ASCOM driver, the right chevron arrows on the BYE GUI seem to work fine but the left chevron arrows do not produce expected results. Whenever any focuser left arrow is clicked on the GUI, the micro-focuser runs for about 5 seconds in one direction, then reverses direction and runs for the same amount of time in the opposite direction and then stops negating any movement (seems like it runs a diagnostic instead of executing the user command?). In any case, a total lack of control.
ASCOM Driver: "Meade LX200 Classic and Autostar #494, #495, and #497 (combined telescope/focuser, 5.0.4"
Could this be a problem with the BYE implementation for any ASCOM focuser or maybe it's specific only to this particular Meade driver? Or if BYE is not the root cause, how would I go about pursuing a solution with the ASCOM layer?
Thanks

You can Turn ON the ASCOM Logging, and then review that debug log to see what commands the ASCOM Focuser is handling (and what it is telling the Focuser Driver to do)...

Thanks Guylain! Once again you hit the nail on the head! To this point I had been using default Focuser settings. That means the Focuser Backlash Compensation value in the Focuser properties was
