Not meaning to highjack a thread but when I downloaded the 2-27 update ( just to have as a backup) the release notes only showed up to version 2-10.
Yes, tried that also. PC set to 9600 and loader to speed 56000.Keep your PC serial control driver port settings to default 9600 and the loader to auto set the speed to 56000.
56000bps only needs to be manually set in the RS232 test program as shown in the example photo. Is the test reporting back repeating 303030.... when sending hex text "45"?

Well, the problem with mine doesn't seem to have been the switch after all. I loaded the latest firmware and hooked it back up to the MicroHD, which had been working fine for a few days with the Vbox. The ASC1 was working absolutely great and better with the new firmware until, same as last time, I programmed in the last few sats again and then everything went out the window. Only this time with the new firmware it would still move automatically to sats with no hangup when selected from the receiver.
Moved to a sat position and no reception, tried another, nothing. Tried to manually move it from the remote and front buttons on the ASC1, the remote plus front panel buttons were locked out it seemed, wouldn't move from either of them.
Hooked the Vbox back up and the count was off by 100 counts or so for each sat. Adjusted for that and everthing's been working fine with the Vbox for a few days now. This is what the ASC1 did before, except this time it still moved to all the sats without hanging up.
Hooked the ASC1 up and did a global reset, programmed in a few sats and it seemed to be working fine. Hooked the Vbox back up, because right now I'm not gonna mess with the ASC1, I have too many other things to do right now, but I am going to try setting it up again soon and I'll document things a lot better, I.E., how many sats are programmed, which one it messes up on, etc.
What kind of sensor cable do you have going out to your actuator motor on your dish? Perhaps the ASC-1 is more sensitive to induction noise that the cable is picking up causing miscounts? If the cable you use has a spare wire left on it, try grounding it on one end. Maybe it'll help as an easy solution.
