BTW how do I connect the Hbx to my computer to use the editor?
|
You need a serial port or a USB2Serial adapter first.
Then you need a cable wired up to suit the Meade format.
You can buy these ready made or make one up yourself.
Very simple and wiring diags are available if reqd.
Once you have that cable, you can connect anything to the Hbx, like planetariums, updaters, my editor, autoguide programs etc.

Also am I able to use this software to control the slewing of the LX90
|
My editor has a full remote control handbox so anything that can be done from the hbx can be done from the app. It also has two special dialog boxes that allow you to do drive train testing etc using a separate webcam feed. Much quicker and more accurate than the Hbx method.

Hey Andrew, didn't realise that you were the "name" who did the patches.

I am the second in the list. A chap called Dick Seymour did the original patches for the 497s and deserves the bulk of the credit. I learnt off him and then extended his work as well as did the patches to the newer 497EP/Audiostar Hbxs, ( as they use different processors to the std 497s ). ie its a joint effort.
