Flip Test....
Set up with scope point east - Pier on WEST at target RA: 13:33:26 - DEC: 25:23:24
Very close to 16:30:30 pm the FLIP is initiated and by at latest (while watching screens) 16:30:38 (almost immediate) the Mount screen in EKO show Flip Complete
Camera view of the mount shows it is ONLY just starting - the physical flip ends about 16:32:30
I then parked the mount after a short wait
Logs attached but this is really not right - Flip complete should occur after the mount has successfully slewed to the coordinates - I also attach the INDI driver logs and have marked the last slew with "FLIP -" so you can find it. What exactly is the MOUNT code looking for from the driver to determine a flip is actually complete? If state of the mount is not accurate, this could trigger any number of problemsFlip Test....
