It appears to either have not loaded the slow preset and kept the functionality that was previously set by the Web App, or it actually reloaded the Esprit profile.

Yep. You can apply any of the three built-in presets, but none of the custom ones will apply successfully. In this case the motor settings are just whatever you last applied via the web app.

In any case, focusing is working very well, I'm getting a good gradient curve for focus operations and I have not noticed any slippage - I probably need to run some dry tests with the OTA mounted indoors.

I've tried with a hold setting around 3, but haven't had much chance to experiment since I completed the code. However, it'll only really make a difference if you're shooting up towards the zenith, generally I didn't have too many issues until I started trying to target objects high in the sky - only then did slippage become an issue.
