Well... still sorting out cabling. You still have to go through USB. The guider connects to the laptop via USB (like a QHY5 in PHD), then USB to serial to AO then AO direct to mount guider port. So the guider takes a pic (throught the AO glass) then sends it to the laptop. The software drives the AO to tilt. If out of range (+/-25px approx. depending on image scale) the AO bumps the mount (not the guider). That's the last bit I haven't figured out yet.
