Problem with connection between mount (Bresser) and guidecam (QHY5)

Hi,

I have the Bresser EXOS 2 goto mount (from what I understand, it's build on the Meade LXD75 mount with added ST4 port) and just got a QHY5L-II color CCD for guiding.

I just tried hooking the guide cam up to the mount for the first time and connected the camera to my PC. PHD connected without problems. I tried going into Manual Mode to see if I was able to move the mount in any direction. This resulted in... nothing. No respons from the mount.

The mount is connected to the camera via the included ST4 cable (straight).

Any ideas on what's wrong? Maybe the Bresser requires alternative wiring?

Update:

I just tried again today inside and noticed that when using Manual Mode in PHD (newest PHD2 version) I got movement when hitting "South". The gears on one of the axis moved. When hitting "East" gears all stop moving (when not doing anything the gears are moving slightly for tracking normally), "West" got the gears moving a little faster (the normal tracking rate increased a little), "North" did absolutely nothing.

Any ideas? Could this be due to wrong cable wiring?
