tested today with heavy overcast. no go. will try it with lighter cloud cover when I can. I started it when I thought it would work....could kinda make out the sun but it thickened up before I ran the actual seek.

This is a brief video that demonstrates setting up the J-Mate and how the Sun Seek application works. You'll notice that from the time I put the solar filter on the J-Mate until the time I took it off, ready to collect points, required about 1 minute. No backsight required.

Precision tests will come, but initial results look very promising.

After calibration, are all points collected with the LS on the JMate or is the JMate tracking the target on LS as we move from point to point? Do we have both options?

Points are stored on the LS. As Adam mentioned in another post, I suspect that scanning points might someday be logged directly to the J-Mate.

It was when the video was made. There was an issue in the calculation that needed to be addressed. I believe it has been addressed today, but I need to test it to be sure.

Yes, you can try robotic follow by tapping the Laser icon. Both options are there to test.
