Hi all has anyone got a Pinout for the Synscan Tour? what i can find so far is just a Normal syscan HS pinout (RJ45) where the Tour is a RJ12, I am Hoping to connect it to My Multi fuction Auto tracking mount + 90mm from Saxon.. any Help would Be great .. I forgot to get "optional Cable" and have the gear here to make one myself just need the Pinouts.

i am also Looking into a Serial Bluetooth + Android Tablet Mod as well ..

Cheers All and happy to be a new member to forums!

G'day Jamie,
My Synscan uses an RJ-11 plug to a DB9. The connections are:
RJ-11 1 = NC
2 = RD to DB9 #2
3 = GND to #5
4 = NC
5 = TD to #3
6 = NC

Hope this is of some help. (From Skywatcher manual)
