| Symptoms |
|
When
communicating with the Autostar version 1.3 via its built-in serial
port, the Autostar set latitude command (":St DD*MM#") returns
an error when attempting to set the latitude when the minutes input is
06, 07, 08 and 09. To duplicate
this behavior, run HyperTerminal (9600, 8, None, 1, No Flow Control) and
send a ":St 43*06#" command. The return value from the
Autostar is 0, meaning the set latitude command failed. |
| Cause |
|
This is a limitation with the Autostar version 1.3.
|
| Resolution
Use the Autostar's hand controller to
set the correct latitude or specify your latitude in TheSky to something
other than 06, 07, 08 or 09 minutes.
