What does this mean?

When I consult the log file I see this. What are the blue lines all about?

Email today from ASA. The mount has been disassembled, put back together and is in the testing phase. No indication yet of what was wrong with it.

I have just received an email from ASA. The mount is due to be shipped back to me in a day or two.

The mount was disassembled, and then rebuilt with a new set of bearings.

Plenty of new grease was applied and also a new wiring loom was fitted.

 

It has been tested and ASA sent me a couple of logfiles. The currents in both motors seem to be behaving well.

 

I am eager to try it out when it gets home. I hope the couriers handle it carefully!

 

Many thanks to ASA!

The diagram surely looks good, George.

I really hope your problems are gone now and you'll have lots of fun with it!

Hi George,

 

This looks much more like it!

 

Speaking from similar experience, it should now be a pleasure to use - as long as it's well balanced

 

Regards,

Mark

News from Austria - the mount is on its way back!

[Waldemar]

Hi George,

 

Is your mount delivered yet? and how does it perform now? everything solved I hope.

The mount is back, but I have not yet put it into the observatory. I have a bit of a back problem so will need a friend to help lift it.

I tried the mount out yesterday and again today. No weird behavour with the currents seen.

I ran it today for over 3 hours - no problems.

 

Many thanks to ASA for sorting this out.

I have a similar problem with my DDM60pro. How is the cost for the reparation in ASA?
