Toni,

I think your implementation of the rotator is fundamentally flawed... while I agree that it should be the driver that does the work, it needs a 'seed'. Aka the first plate solve needs to populate what the current is into the driver for that session. As an example, I take my camera off and shift the angle... it needs to be updated. I shouldn't have to manually do that.

On the flip side, I can 'sync' my rotator. Perhaps there needs to be a warning that there has been no 'sync' this session and that unexpected movements will occur.

My mount defaults to a random -114 degrees. Why? I dunno. But, if your implementation relies on better device drivers, that probably should be worked out with the developers before implementing. What it breaks is scheduler automation.

Apparently your device's driver does store the value and your fix works for 'you'. But, it breaks it for most of us I'm guessing.
