Can I use the serial cable for a Meade LX200 GPS that connects pc to the Meade for a Gemini controller to pc connection. Is the pinout the same for each?

Thanks

No it is different. I had to make one. Have you got the gemini manual. The details are in that.

Thanks Barry. I'll have a look in there. I'm a bit of an electrical neanderthal, but I'll see how I go.
