I am attempting to get my NEQ6 connected to my WIN8 laptop (Stellarium app), and have the following steps complete:
Shoestring EQDirect (USB to RS232) connected. Driver loaded and identified as COM6 ( this was checked in Device Manager to confirm).
ASCOM platform on the laptop, also have EQMOD and EQtools, etc.
It is Registered, and I have run the diagnostics and everything is fine.
Went through the setup routine that I found online.
Setup the COM6 port on the parameter page, and entered the GPS coordinates.
Mount is connected and power is on.
When I press the OK button on the parameters page the EDMOD page pops up with this message:
Connection Error: Invalid Parameter
I went back and checked it again. I then followed an online suggestion to delete the ini file and resave it, which I did. Still the same response. In fact I can't get out of that damn page and had to reboot the laptop to get away from it.
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem?
