Hello, i am currently building a version 3 rotator and have assembled the electronics and uploaded the firmware to the UNO. When running the batch file a command window opens and shows that it is communicating on com3. When I test it in Gpredict with “engage” I get:

Seems to be communicating with the controller OK but not returning data?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as the other hardware is finished.
Thanks,
Brian.
