Hi Chris
There are a lot of discussions about the features a rotator driver should have or not have. Here is an interesting one from the past.
Of course a proper functioning of your NiteCrawler - as all rotators - depends on reading the initial angle when EKOS is starting. As I said the problem with the NiteCrawler driver is the fact that it does not set the control led to green (see below). Right now this is a confirmation for the rotator module, that the the value in "Goto" angle field is indeed the initial angle. If the control led is not green, the rotator module doesn't read in the angle.

I use the same PA (during these tests) night after night ..
Can you confirm that the displayed rotator angle of 129.18° in the "Goto" field corresponds to this PA? If this is the case, I can try to read in this value without checking the control led.
