Hi All,

Am working on the new BETA 2 software to be released as a new upgrade
and noticed
 that the explanation for use of the (SLOW PIN) use may not be very
clear on how to 
use the hardware connection's for this use.

Will need to update that (SLOW PIN) use  when I release the new BETA 2
software.

I just looked at the DrzCom Setup and this may not be explain in good
detail,
to understand how the Slow pin out for Az and El works,
to understand that there is a slow pin output for Az & El on the
MAlE DB9 plug????,
 see: (Slow Start Time) in DrzCom.

This will show what I am going to explain below.

See: DB9 MALE plug,

pin 8 for AZ, this is connected to the relay board, input (Az 1), out is
(Az 2) transistor, this is good for 100 volts at 800 mills.

Pin 7 for El,  this is connected to the relay board, input (El 1), out
is (El 2) transistor, this is good for 100 volts at 800 mills.

The setting for time slow (tracking object mode),

 when a call to start move in - all move calls then,
 (RELAY or HexFet board transistor output reverts/goes low)
 of up to 15 seconds as set in DrzCom setup,
then transistor output reverts high,
 to allow motors to return to fast mode,

 if you need a big move.
