astroeder Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hi, I am new to this forum and new to DDM mounts as well. I have a trouble with connecting Autoslew to the mount.I installed the programs according to the manual. Now Autoslew starts with error message. I can skip this message, but then I can not turn motors on and can not do anything with the mount. It seems Autoslew can not connect to the mount.Could you please tell me what is the problem and how can I solve it? OS is Win7-64bit. Thank you!

GeorgeCarey Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Just a guess... Is it a problem about confusion with decimal points? Some use a "." and others a ",". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamaSpaceShip Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 George, you are probably right. I had the same message the first time I started Autoslew. It appears that Autoslew uses the locale decimal separator to read its config files, but these files use '.', whatever the locale is. Ivan, you then need to change the decimal separator to '.' in the locale parameters on the computer you use to run Autoslew. Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
