Stellarium Scope with Gemini

I recently posted a thread about getting Stellarium Scope to work with the Gemini 2 which I had no successful answers to

After some advice from Marty I was able to construct a DB9 to RJ12 cable specific to the Gemini 2

I had succesfully used the previous version of Stellarium Scope with the EQ6, via a USB to RS232 converter and a similar cable provided with the EQ6 plugged into the handset and as the latest version of Stellarium Scope includes a Gemini.net driver option I was keen to use Stellarium with the G11

I tried using Stellarium Scope via the straight USB(b) plug on the Gemini control panel but it would not communicate with the mount.

However with the newly built (mode 1 or 2 cable schematics available from Tom Hilton Gemini Site) RJ12 cable plugged into Serial Port 1 on the Gemini 2, I successfully static tested slewing etc using Stelarium Scope
