Incorrect com port in device manager ( EQMOD com port must match com port in Device manger ) check EQMOD toolbox
Planetarium location and time details must match EQMOD location and time details
Check settings in EQMOD
Hi Martin,
Thanks for your help and you were spot on! It was that darn USB Serial cable. Mick at Bintel said sudden fails like this are often cables. So back in action.
Again thank you fr the detailed response, I really appreciate it.
Kind regards
Geoff
