Connect your EQ6 to a serial port on your PC/Laptop turn on EQ6 and put into PC Direct Mode and then run Stellarium Scope, you can set Stellarium scope to start Stellarium everytime you start Scope (convenience?) In EQMOD, that should load up with Stellarium Scope, Unpark the scope. In Stellarium select object you want to look at and then press CTRL 1 together, Scope should then ask if you wish to sync or slew select slew and providing everything is OK your scope should slew to the object and if your scope is aligned should track the object.

I'm trying to get a little ascer aspire notepad to control a skywatcher eq5pro. cabling is a usb/serial adapter which talks to the synscan controler satisfactorally.
Ive loaded all of the above, and followed the instructions.... synscan controller is in pc direct mode, Stellarium-scope says the scope is connected, & the stellarium config.ini is updated.
the scope simulator box says the scope is un-parked
I do the cnrl/1 trick and the prompt box asks me if I wish to slew (yes I do),
but no action from the scope..
edit1
the eqmod I was using was a beta, I have now replaced it, but now when it is started I get the a box stating the following.
"component MSWINSCK.ocx or one of its dependencies is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid"
whats this mean? any ideas to get the scope running?
