Control of iOptron ZEQ25 from BYE

[ebonezer]

Hello,

I have an issue with ioptrons ASCOM drivers and BYE (trial version).
I have all the ioptron and ASCOM updates as of May '15 including ioptrons 3.11  ASCOM update which is stated as supporting 'moveaxis' commands. I cannot move the mount from the mount from the BYE nudge control buttons.
BackyardEOS logs say that "Telescope ASCOM driver does not impelment (sic) MoveAxis command: AxisPrimary"  for RA and "AxisSecondary" for Az.
I control the ZEQ25 OK through the iOptron panel, AstroTortilla, Stellarium and Cartes du Ciel but not BYE.
It's not a game changer but it is a drag when I want to nudge the scope for reframing because I have to come out of ASCOM and revert to the ioptron .NET driver to do the nudge and then dismiss .NET and pick up ASCOM again.

Any solution will be appreciated.
Cheers,

Check cloudynights threads on the ioptron 3.11 ASCOM driver.  Many issues.  Most have gone back to 2.4.  You might try that.

BYE/BYN uses the "MoveAxis" command to move the RA/DEC axis of your mount.  Some manufacture did not implement this command in there ASCOM driver... which results in BYE/BYN not being able to move the mount

Perhaps using the POTH handset to do your nudges would eliminate the need for the native iOptron app.

 

POTH is installed with the ASCOM Platform so you already have it.

I have the iEQ-45 and use POTH as Rick suggests (using the iOptron 2.4 driver as the 3.11 has massive issues) to nudge the scope position for framing, it works fine.
