st5c

Hi guys,

Its actually claude, not glen, thats ok..

I have the st5c ccd and the black box, plus the 2 cable to plug into the black box, power cable and the lead to connect to the telescope..

Now on the black box there is NO light to indicate that the box is on, like a red light of some sort...

Let's start with some pretty basic questions. Not being nasty, just seing that it's set up right.
1) Do you have the camera head 25pin connector plugged in to the control box 'Camera Head' socket?
2) Do you have the 25 pin cable from your printer port of the laptop plugged in to the 'PC Parallel Port' socket on the control box?
3) When you apply 12 volts DC and turn the control box ON, does the camera head fan run?

Cheers,
Jason.
Jason when i do this there is no fan noise on the ccd to indicate that the ccd is on,

ALL the driver and setup is install, but it still has no link up.. I have tried using all the setup eg: LPT1 through to 3, COM1 through to COM4, and still no link to the ccd.

So i have no idea why?
