Hopefully I just add the cable and it all works...I will go out to it later when I feel better.

If want to control the mount with EQMOD and Stellarium via the USB2A to USB2B cable ( max 5m length ) then you do not need the handcontroller at all , it is removed and packed away
I can send you a step by step procedure which I sent to another member blue silver which he said worked perfectly on his AZEQ6 mount. I’ve used my EQ6-R mount over 4 nights I the past 2 weeks using my latest procedure for EQMOD and Stellarium and the accuracy of Goto is tremendous
Do you want the procedure ?

Cheers
Martin
