Positive news
I received another cable in mail today,at first nothing much happened,I checked settings in SS2K and made sure the AG speed was on,I switched the speed up to 5.5.so as to hear noise if it worked.
I went into manual control in PHD and got it moving!I could hear the little shunting noises,that I had never heard befor,PHD was talking to mount!I turned it all off and checked again,it worked.
The strange thing is when I plugged the cable I was using last week in,it worked too
All of this done this morning,so I could not see anything (its raining again)
One question-when using manual control,and say you want it to move east,do you keep tapping east icon a few times to get it lined up on what you want,or just tap it once to make it start moving.(not sure how to stop it if that's the case),From my limited knowledge I imagine you tap it a few times to line up.As I did in this trial.
But it does appear it was only a cable connection issues,not sure why I had no communication going on with the first cable,maybe there was some dust on points in SS2K and by changing cables a few time rubbed it off.
But its a relief to have it talking to each other,(it will be now cloudy for two weeks)
