Information Needed for Skywatcher GPS cable to PC

[Visionoz (Bill)]

Hi

Could anyone with the Skywatcher GPS please let me know or show a pix of the adaptor cable that connects the GPS unit to the PC?? (not the one to the handcontroller!)

Thanks in advance
Bill

The instruction PDF that came with mine has some pics but not I think of connecting to a PC (though this is described). Do you have this?

Hi Dan

I do not have the PDF either - (bought this used and the seller said that there was no such cable nor software disc!!) - yeah viewing the instruction PDF would indeed be very helpful

I have used the GPS direct to the EQ6 Pro mount with no hassles; it connects via the HC using the RJ11 programming port which you know how it works - from what I understand one could use the GPS receiver directly to the PC as well if the planetarium software is GPS-capable to read the data

Hence the USB-to-PS2 cable is provided so that the GPS can be re-programmed from binary mode to NMEA mode for the PC software to read the data off it

Perhaps I could PM you so that you can email me to my email address the PDF file if you don't mind

Cheers
Bill
