new card firmware ver. 6.7 (for old and new firmware bootloader)
better stability of the connection over IP with the card
totally new Bad Weather function ( info in Driver manual)
added IP power program for control observatory equipment power On/Off
corrected lot of small bugs
5.5.28 (2023.10.04)
new card firmware ver. 6.5 relase (for old and new firmware bootloader)
from this version card firmware have build in timer and can close shutter on selected time without PC
card firmware have build in time reading from internet from NTP server
base on 230V detect input - firmware improves the timing of relay activation to reduce sparking on the contacts - this will improve the life of the relays
corrected bug in set PWM values
corrected bug in MapPoint window
more stable procedures for measuring dome inertia table
driver has built-in support for 2M domes with 230V motors
corrected bug in "Driver Start" and "Driver End" scripts
corected bug in ASCOM.FindHome
added card IP address programing from ConfigWindow (it works only via USB port). Please remember - if you want to change MAC card address you must do this via Arduino_Test.exe.
version rady for new firmware 6.4 and bootloader
new Observatory Safe sensor behavior, now you can set period and CLK for this sensor
cards simulators work faster
corrected bug in OCH interface return values
5.5.24 (2021.12.22)
new card firmware ver. 6.1 relase
after three connection errors with the card, the driver tries to restore the connection every 30s (an attempt to re-establish the connection takes about a minute)
after a reset of the card's power supply or a transmission error, the driver tries to connect to the card every 30s
the connection status with the Dome and Shutter card is reported in the Sensors tab in the main program window
card status is read once per second, it should greatly improve the stability of the card
