As I suspected, re-programming the eprom did the trick. But how to re-program? The critical directions were actually on the FD website for another product. After some research I figured out how to install “hyper terminal” to be able to communicate directly with the ST2. Apparently this was a utility last included with Windows XP. Several hours later, I had things talking to one another, followed the calibration instructions under the ST2 page, flashed the eprom, and now it’s working as it should on several passes.\r\nWowsers, that was annoying but very educational.\r\nThanks again.\r\n73, Craig\r\nN6RSX\r\n\r\nFrom: Charles Reiche <[email protected]>\r\nSent: Sunday, August 16, 2020 1:30 PM\r\nTo: D.

I had problem with my voltage regulator (I soldered it in backwards) and did not have 5v where it needed to be.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nCharles Reiche\r\n\r\n\r\nOn Sun, Aug 16, 2020 at 3:37 PM D.

For no apparent reason, my FD st2 connected to my G5400 has just started misbehaving after working great for months. Using W10. It is displaying incorrect AZ, while EL is correct. It parks the G5400 at 225 deg instead of default 300. It will show EL in excess of 500+ deg when manually turning the G5400 clockwise. I have the most current driver for my usb-serial cable. Im thinking I need to reset the EPROM but an find no directions on the FD website or internet on how to do this after initial setup. I will email Dinesh at FD if no answers.\r\nAny help would be appreciated.\r\nThank you and 73 from OC DM13\r\n\r\nCraig\r\nN6RSX\r\n_______________________________________________\r\nSent via [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
