Hi All
Well it has been a while and I have decided it is time to try to get my guiding working on the EQ6. I have both of the Shoestring modules - the GPUSB and the EQDirect.
Tonight, I have tried the EQDirect and seem to have a problem. Each time I tried and checked with EQDIRCheck, I got the message "could not connect to EQ mount".
I started with my old EQ5 and tried the EQDir with the EQ-CBL cable.
I then tried with the EQ6 and a serial cable.
I have used a laptop with a functioning serial port and a laptop with a usb-serial adaptor.
I think I have tried all options for the layout - the EQDir module has been moved from the PC end to the mount end.
No luck with any configuration. I had expected that it would all plug in and just work.
I am beginning to think it may be the module itself. Does anyone know if there is a way to check the EQDir module?
Thanks
Darrell
