hello I’ve been trying out the demo of sgpro recently and everything works very well apart from 1 thing and that’s SGpro and PHD2 talking to each other
in my equipment profile i have phd2 selected with a dither but the 2 programs don’t appear to be talking to each other
is there another setting that i need use ?
when i use APT and PHD2 for capture the 2 programs talk to each other just fine
any help would be gratefully appreciated

Hi Jake,
Welcome to the group.
Could you be a little more specific… what is the problem you are having that is leading you to believe the programs are not communicating?
Andy
Hi Andy. When I started my sequence it plate solved and centred everything just fine but then the sequence paused while it said it was waiting for PHD
I should have paid more attention really so I could be more specific, in the end I removed PhD2 from the auto Guider settings as I couldn’t get it to actually start the sequence
When I have used PhD2 with apt in the past, I would start PhD2 then start apt, apt would auto connect to PhD2 and in the bottom bar of PhD2 it would state new connection. This doesn’t happen with sgpro
Jake
Toki,
Can you make sure you’ve installed the latest development build for phd2. I believe SGP requires at least 2.4.1i.
I’ve got the very latest builds of both programs.
Should PhD2 show something in its log file if sgpro is connected ?
Hello, in phd u set the server option active?the the prg will communicate together…and first start phd then sgpro
Yes the server is active and I start PhD2 first
Does it need to be from last night or can it just start the 2 programs now and then post the logs
ok i’ve just started up the 2 programs without any kit connected and here are the log files Dropbox - SGpro - Simplify your life if the whole setup needs to be running then i’ll have to wait until i get another clear night as i don’t have the logs from last night
Jake,
Those logs you posted do not show anything (nothing happened in SGP that would have initiated communication with PHD2). It would be better to get the logs from last night when you had the problem. The logs should still be present in the respective log folders. Look for yesterday’s date in the file names.
Andy
sometimes i must “stick” the st4 port again in the mount or guidingcamera to give an impulse to the mount/phd…try then new calibration with phd see if it moves…maybe u can try this…
Andy I don’t have the logs from last night it’s a long very dull story but I needed to clear out my files and the logs went as well
I shall try again next clear night
Thanks for help with everything so far
Jake,
OK, no problem, we’ll take a look when you have them.
Andy
Just a little update. I managed to get a couple of hours clear sky again last week and everything worked perfectly. I didn’t change any settings so I’ve no idea what caused the issue the night before
All is good now 
A great bit of software
Sometimes a reboot fixes everything. Congrats!
