Nice focuser, but the drivers and FW have issues |

The thing itself is nicely built, I like it. Screws, bracket, shaft adapters, cable - everything you need is in.
However the driver and the FW have issues which I think must be fixed - if updated I'll give all 5 stars without any hesitation. Both the native app and the buttons allow the focuser to move beyond the limits - greater than max or to the negative values. This is not good and not safe - the telescope focuser or the iEAF can be easily damaged. Probably the iEAF has the stall condition detection, but there is a dilemma - it either limits the max useful load or don't prevent damage. The software like N.I.N.A. doesn't allow to overcome the limits, but if limits are already passed - even N.I.N.A. tries to go further, during autofocus for example.
Please, fix this!
Additionally if both buttons are pressed simultaneously by mistake, instead of stopping and doing nothing the iEAF slows down and produces a kind of buzzing sound, doesn't seem harmful however. Maybe ok.
