Hi Alain
pictures of the board attached. Board isn't isolated from box so a bit obscured. I can send pictures of the isolated board if you want them.

Wondefull, Pictuires are clear enough.

At least the good thing is that they match with the Flashing manual provided by Terrans on their download site.
Normally with the latest firmware you are on the safe side for flashing the ESP8206 (WiFi) and the ESP32 (OnStep) following the adequate manual.
They seem really accurate for what concerns the flashing procedure but it requires Windows (if you use their tools)
I am ready to assist you in this process.
The best is always to make a backup of the existing firmware, hoping they didn't burn the protection fuse bits.

I have a same problem with OnstepX 10.17g, since everything worked with the previous version, also the 0.5-2 guide doesn't work.

You mean the "Communication: Ft# error, check connection" and with a "Terrans OnStep" ?

What do you mean by the "0.5-2 guide"?

Concerning "Communication :Ft# error, check connection."
I finally could reproduce the error with both Onstep and OnStepX.

To do it I modified the OnStep / OnstepX firmware code so that there is no correct response to the "Ft#" command.

<strong>in Onstep</strong> I changed false to true in Command.ino
// :Ft# Get focuser temperature
// Returns: n# temperature in deg. C
if (command[1] == 't') { dtostrf(ambient.getTelescopeTemperature(),3,1,reply); boolReply=true; } else

<strong>in OnStepX</strong> I changed false to true in Focuser.Command.cpp
// :Ft# Get focuser temperature
// Returns: n# temperature in deg. C
if (command[1] == 't') {
sprintF(reply, "%3.1f", getTemperature());
*numericReply = true;
} else

Once uploaded to the controller and connecting with Kstars I get the error message which is what is expected.
here the result with a terminal
Bienvenue dans minicom 2.8
 
OPTIONS: I18n 
Port /dev/ttyUSB1, 09:57:52
 
Tapez CTRL-A Z pour voir l'aide concernant les touches spéciales
 
:Ft#1

so you can see OnStep answers 1 without the ending "#"

When I return to the original code the error message is not anymore present.
Bienvenue dans minicom 2.8
 
OPTIONS: I18n 
Port /dev/ttyUSB1, 10:03:12
 
Tapez CTRL-A Z pour voir l'aide concernant les touches spéciales
 
:Ft#10.0#

Here OnStep answers with 10.0 and the ending "#"

So there must definitively be something wrong with your respective firmware.

I really would like to see what is happening when you issue the ":Ft#" command within a terminal

or better use this really nice toolset github.com/kbahey/onstep-python

Hello Alan, Using the autoguider at speeds from 0.5 to 2x the mount moves only in one direction and does not reverse direction. If I use from 4 onwards everything is normal.

In Kstars the alignment procedure no longer works as it freezes after the first plate solving. I use OnStepX with Fystc S 6 V. 2.0

In fact it has nothing related to the "Ft#" error message but you experience trouble since you have upgraded OnStep to 10.17.g!
this version was released 2023-09-08.
lx200_OnStep driver last change was 1.19 for about 6 months as a consequence the error is not the cause of the driver but must come either from the Firmware, and update of Kstars ot other indi related things.
Stellarsolver has had some changes recently, kstars too now it depends which versions you are running

Hi,

I made some tests with latest builds
Looks like plate solving is running

as soon I have set-up a new OnStepX I will test again

I will try!
Since I am on an observatory so aligning and so is not anymore necessary so I even do not know how this works :-)

Replied by Spas Sl on topic Driver OnStep (LX200 like) for INDI

Hello,
It seems that the firmware for the Terrans Onstep Exos2 v4 has several issues. I've purchased both the Pro and Lite versions and encountered many of the problems you mentioned. The Pro version also displays the same warning. When using the arrow buttons, both controllers stop slewing after a few seconds, and the polar alignment process gets stuck during the initial movement.

Is it safe to update the ESP32 with the official firmware? I do have the RTC chip available, but I'm concerned about bricking the device. Can I revert to the stock firmware from the website if something goes wrong?
