Hello everyone, I count on your help, I have the entire astroberry kit connected (eq5, zwo, canon, gps) everything worked great, and from the last night after the assembly rotation I started to get such errors and guiding started to go crazy - everything restarts and then the same. everything else works. guding works well for max 3 min and then the dec paw runs out of the rock. I have not found a solution anywhere. please help .

Hi
If you rotate the guide camera or the guide telescope, you must re-calibrate.

That's right, I did, and it worked. but now, every time ekos is started, this error pops up, everything works ok but when it starts guiding, DEC breaks up after a while.

Hi
Maybe post the guide and indi logs. Otherwise, we can only guess.
Cheers

I use a guide built into ekos, but when I turn on phd2, it also goes away after a while dec. I remember before that a window popped up talking about rotation and then everything broke.

If before guiding begins you are *certain* the the calibration is correct, reverse the N/S guide pulses and try again.
If not, maybe post the guide and indi logs.

It looks like you haven't slewed the telescope anywhere. i.e. the scope is pointing at the north celestial pole (Polaris). Cailbrating the guider near the celestial pole could cause strange behavior. I suggest slewing to a target away from the celestial pole and try again.

Also, it isn't clear from the logs (at least to me) if you're using ST4 or pulse guiding. On the guide tab of Ekos, there should be a selection for guider, which will either be the name of your guide camera, or it will be EQMod. If it's the guide camera as the guiding output, then that means you're using ST4, and need to attach at ST4 guide cable from the guide camera to the guide port on the mount. If instead it says EQMod (recommended) then you don't need such a cable.
