Bogus coordinates when controlling Nexstar 8SE
I've tested the telescope control in Stellarium with a serial-usb connection directly to my x86 workstation and it works as expected. When I control the telescope over the same serial-usb connection to my Raspberry Pi B+ it goes in all sorts of nonsensical directions. When I tell it to go from Polaris to Vega and back to Polaris, it just goes to 3 random coordinates, often below the horizon. I haven't seen any pattern in the directions it slews. I have left the telescope connection configuration in Stellarium as instructed in the guide.
Raspberry Pi stats: node: v0.10.36 npm: v1.4.28
I received some patches that maybe fix your problems about random coordinates. Waiting for https://github.com/fcsonline/node-telescope-server/issues/7 to review the pull request.
