Seriously
Stellarium uses the same protocol to drive the Gemini as an LX200. However there is a specific Losmandy G11 driver listed in Stellarium.
It connects to the telescope via a com port (or USB/RS232) and can use any Com port number.
The cable is a 4pin (RJ22)
Pin 1 N/C
Pin 2 Gnd
Pin 3 RxD
Pin 4 TxD
A LX200 cable is not suitable you will need to make your own
Trevor uses GCC but I have tested it with Stellarium. No bother! I also wrote a program in Qbasic to drive it with a different set of catalogues.
