How to get my HEQ5 pro & computer to communicate?

I've set up my mount and connected it to my computer, but I can't get them to communicate. I have the following.

  1. Windows 7 X64 SP1
  2. Skywatcher HEQ5 pro with V3.27
  3. USB - serial adapter (working on COM4)
  4. Stellarium & Stellarium Scope
  5. ASCOM Platform 6
  6. EQMOD
I also have;

  1. Hand controller connected to mount with Cat5 cable
  2. Hand controller connected to computer with supplied cable to USB- Serial adapter
  3. Power on
  4. Scope aligned (simulated alignment)
  5. Hand control in PC Direct mode
  6. Emergency supply of beer
Can someone please walk me through this and help me get it working?


Thanks.
