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.

Cool - I already have a USB to serial plugged into the RS-232 port. That's the way I connect the GCC and the Gemini.net ascom driver on COM4. So setting COM4 in stellarium will work. That simple?
