NEQ6 to Synscan App via EQDIR - Not talking
Hi Folks
I have some connection issues.
I have an old EQ6 and a LyncAstro EQDir cable
Yonks ago when I tested it it worked then randomly one night didnt.
I shelved it.
Come back today, new laptop, new windows install using the synscan app it outright refuses to connect to the mount using the EQDIR cable.
I have checked comports, baud rates, physical connections, 12v, changed com numbers. All is leading the the cable being faulty I just cant understand how as it shows up and shows a com port.
Mount works with the hand controller and also works with EQmod and PC direct mode. I'm no expert but am confident ive covered the basic stuff as ive dabbled with similar adapters of the years plus have 20 years IT experience.
Has anyone had any quirks with the synscan app and a EQDir cable?
I rather use the synscan app because to me EQmod is confusing and archaic but more so I am concerned about future changes if perhaps I were to get an ASI Air unit, would I run into same issues.
I have spent since saturday trolling ice in space, cloudy nights and other forum. Ive not ran the app as administrator yet, thats the last trick to try
