Brenden, as you may have noticed the Orion Autoguider does not currently work with the Home Base and I've got no idea on the box thats the subject of this thread. I've been trying ti do some sideline investigation of the options for adding drivers for the Orion to the Home Base but have not worked my my through that yet.

It looks like the QHY stuff may be available for some Linux builds (which the Home Base runs on) and that there is a belief that there is little difference between a QHY5 and an Orion StarShoot autoguider except in firmware. I've not sorted that out for certain yet. The Home Base source code is availalable for Belkin's web site but the other box does not appear to be, not sure if Belkin would help out with that or not.

I'm sticking with my Jaycar 10m Usb hub for the moment as its been reliable and will work with a second hub plugged in and will try and see what can be done with the Home Base as I get time, be nice to have the mount running from Wi-fi but thats not as crucial as stability.

Bob
