I second sharing the procedure!
This is strange territory for me.

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.

Hi Alain
Thanks you for your help so far, it has been a journey for me.
I will endeavour to work through the problems on my own. It seems the real problem is to edit the config.H file accurately when installing newer firmware.
Your latest edit includes the link: openastronomy.substack.com/p/terrans-industry-onstep-v4-pro-kit which looks helpful as it is the same kit as mine as I have taken out the board and photographed it.
I did try connecting to web interface via the unit's wifi and discovered it's mainly in mandarin. I have emailed the company to see if there is an English version.

Cheers
Andrew

Here are the screenshots.
I discovered I was unable to complete plate solving polar alignment in Kstars as the mount stopped after the first image (it takes 3 on one axis). I also noticed that when I connect the mount to the laptop for a test I am unable to manually drive more than about 10 degrees in either direction in both axes without re-pressing the direction key (mount control in Kstars) I wonder if these issues are connected? This is beyond my understanding.
Two more screenshots to come.

Hi Alain
I won't be able to reply for about 24 hours but will be chasing a clear sky tonight (It has been cloudy here) with a field test and will let you know the results, besides sending screenshots of the appropriate tabs you posted in your last post.
I look forward to, at best, correct operation but with an annoying error message.
Cheers

Hi Alain
A QR code was included on the box from Terrans Industries; here is the link: www.terrans-industry.com/xz
Apart from language difficulties, it wasn't much use to me as most of the executables were PC or Android-based - I'm a Mac use - a decision I'm starting to regret relating to this purchase.
Otherwise I have no problems driving an HEQ5/GSO 150/750 newtonian/ZWO guider/Canon DSLR from a Mac via Kstars/Ekos.

cheers

Hello Alain
my OS is Mac OS 11.7.9
my terminal knowledge is very basic and I will try to connect via terminal to the onstep controller although I'm not sure how but I will try to muddle through and try the commands you have supplied. I will report back.
thanks very much!
cheers
Andrew
