PHD2 v2.6.9 Released. Head to Downloads for the installation files and release details. PHD2 Best Practices. Bruce and Andy have compiled a list of best practices for PHD2. These aren’t “must-do’s”, but they represent lessons learned from both personal experience and from analyzing hundreds of log files covering a wide range of equipment configurations. The macOS package is signed and notarized. All macOS PlugIns are now 64 bit only, so you need the 64 bit version of TheSkyX Pro. The OS X zip file contains the installable pkg: NexDome V3 X2 OS X Plugin version 1.3. The Windows installer file: NexDome V3 X2 Windows Plugin version 1.3. On Windows, you also need to install the Arduino USB driver. The Software Bisque TheSkyX Professional is a comprehensive and full-featured tool that helps you get the most out of your astronomy experiences. Another software product that Software Bisque has developed is the Seeker. It is a three dimensional simulation of the solar system. While you “space flight” you can explore the sun, planets.
These PlugIns are multi platform : OSX (macOS), Windows, Linux (Ubuntu) and Raspberry PI.
As it's hard to get access to the real hardware, I'll give priority to whichever vendor is willing to help. If you own a dome and want OS X or Linux support for TheSkyX Pro, let me know which one and what controller you are using. If I can get the protocol documentation, I will try to write a X2 PlugIn for it.
All of these were developed and tested using a 'desk' dome (see the Astronomy DIY section for some pictures).
Current X2 PlugIns :
If you want to support the development, you can donate or lend hardware, or donate via PayPal so that I can acquire the hardware myself:

- Home before park : this will first home the dome before parking to make sure to hit the shuter charging terminals on park
- Home after unpark : this make the dome got home on unpark to improve tracking precision as this resets the internal values to a known azimuth
- You can now change the speed and acceleration for both the rotation and shutter motors

This PlugIn allows you to control a dome rotation and shutter with the MaxDome II controller from Cyanogen (Diffraction Limited).
Make sure you have the latest firmware installed : MaxDome II Downloads (click on the downloads tab and scroll down to the Firmware link)
I had access to a dome controller so that part is tested and seem to work fine. The shutter part is untested..
In the latest version I was able to get the calibrate and Sync fixed, as well as sensor debounce time implemented. I would recommend using 'Find Home' instead of Sync, after setting the Home Azimuth in the settings

Advanced Motion Controls DigiFlex Performance servo drive controller :
Software Bisque Macos 64 Bit Windows 10
This PlugIn allows you to control a Advanced Motion Controls DigiFlex Performance servo drive controller ( something like the DPRAHIE-015S400) to drive a dome rotation..
This is somewhat of a beta version as I'm still working with A-M-C customer support on some issue. All commands works except 'Abort' in TheSkyX Pro (that's one of the issues being worked out with A-M-C support).
The calibrate buton doesn't work yet as there is no equivalent command in the controller and it needs to be implemented on the software side, so for now you need to enter the number of ticks per revolution you get for your specific dome setup.
Also the A-M-C drive controller need to be configured using their software (DriveWare). There are good documentation and application notes on their website and their customer support is top notch.
