    11 - drivectrl in state PositioningFailed or higher
     11- drivectrl is in status LOCKED

    1313__Solution__
    1414
     15- drivectrl goes in this status when the sun is rising, so if this "problem" occurs in the morning it is properly not a problem, it's only the way the telescope should behave, due to the rising sun
     16- if this problem occurs during startup, you have to unlock the telescope:
     17 - unlock in smartfact
     18 - or DRIVECTRL/UNLOCK in dimcrl (HowToDimctrl)
     19
     20__Not Helping__
     21
     22- DRIVECTRL/STOP
     23- killing / quiting / restarting drivectrl
     24- switching off/on drive hardware
     25
     26
     27== timeout while waiting for expected state (e.g. Moving, !OnTrack, ...)
     28
     29__Sympton__
     30
     31- Main.js stopped because drivectrl is not in expected state
     32
     33__Solution__
     34
     35- check status of drivectrl
     36- in case of warning/error, see below
     37- in case the expected state is reached in the meantime (i.e. waiting time was not long enough), restart Main.js
     38
     39== drivectrl in !PositioningFailed

     46
     47- check drivectrl log
    1548- at the end of the night, when parking the telescope
    1649 - first check if the telescope is parked.
    17 - go to /home/fact/operation
    18 - "dimctrl"
    19 - "DRIVE_CONTROL/RESET"
     50- send RESET to drivectrl
     51 - either via smartfact
     52 - or DRIVE_CONTROL/RESET via dimcrl (HowToDimctrl)
    2053- restart script (or park telescope if at the end of the night)
