Hallo!
After buying a used UMI17 mount, and initially i had some fun with it, i now experience only problem with getting it to work properly. The problems are always the same. At starts it works normally, then after a time the mount stops responding to commands from NINA (3.1HF), or getting the PHD2 error:" Ascom driver failed checking ispulseguide". When at the time PHD2 was not active, i get no error messages from NINA, it just stops responding. (But still tracking). At this time it is not possible to photograph through the night.
I am using a Mele2 Quieter PC with Win11 Pro. The Mount is connected with Bluetooth, using the Onstep driver 3.18. (Or 1.042 from Stellarjourney.) (I have tried every driver i could find.) When this happens i am forced to close NINA and stop the driver with the Task-manager, sometimes i am forced to restart the PC. I am slowly thinking this is a problem with the mount, and not a driver problem.
Can anybody help me figuring out what is causing the problems?
