Tried using the script, so far, only the homing menu seems to work.
When i try to run the backlash compensation, after centering the object and, as per the guidance to end with the "East" key, nothing happens, even though the message says, "moving away from the object".

A few more errors I get..

Running stress test, I get the following error:

File "./examples/menu.py", line 51, in <module> func() File "/home/astroberry/onstep-python/examples/drift_test.py", line 41, in drift_test ra = float(equ_decimal.split(',')[0]) ValueError: could not convert string to float:

Have a german type EQ mount, if that matters, I also tried swithching to alt/az, but no difference.
Thanks.

Hello!
TRying to use this onstep python library to connect my mount to another piece of equipment - Running into a bit of a problem. On an older version of the SWS - I believe it was probably Main or the last release, the onstep python lib worked mostly alright.

However, now I am running into a consistent easily reproduced broken socket error, using SWS 2.06e and onstep 10.16a (also on regular onstep)

Basically to recreate - fire up the menu script, it connects, then use 'r' for report. First report works, then gets a SLW, then gets a broken pipe.

I am also getting consistent broken pipes in using this library as part of another project - i can get it to connect, but after a while, I get broken pipes.
