General

Do I need a motorized head?

Is my camera supported?

Errors

Error related to configuration

It may happen that the configuration file can't be updated while installing a new version, especially when you use dev. release. If Papywizard can't start, and report an error related to the configuration, you need to remove the config. file:

• C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\papywizard\papywizard.conf¹ under Windows
• ~/.config/papywizard/papywizard.conf under linux (including maemo)

¹: you have to configure the Windows Explorater so it shows you system files and directories.

HardwareError: Axis n can't send command

Papywizard can't correctly comunicate with the head. Solutions:

• check if the head is switched on
• if using serial driver, be sure to use the correct port
• if using a bluetooth-to-serial converter, don't forget to configure its baudrate to 9600 for the Merlin/Orion head
