Firmware Updates

8/29/2005 - StarDate GPS Adapter Firmware Revision 1.1 is released.  This revision fixes a problem communicating with the AS-GT series telescope mounts.  This is a critical update for AS-GT owners!  Also fixes a problem where telescope time would occasionally be off by 3-4 seconds from GPS time.  Telescope time should now agree within approximately 1 second, which is the resolution of the NMEA time data from the GPS receiver.

Download StarDate GPS Adapter Firmware v1.1 update package (Windows only, others contact Earthshine Technologies technical support).

To update your StarDate GPS Adapter firmware from your PC, you will need an RS-232 null-modem cable or null-modem adapter.  See the readme.txt file in the update package for complete update directions.
