Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. I've had further contact with PLL but I still cannot get SkySafari to connect.

In case anyone else is having a similar issue, this is the reply from PLL regarding a start-up procedure when powering the mount via the Eagle Core:

Quote

The EAGLE CORE software has to start after the mount is powered and aligned. In order to make this, if you power the mount with the EAGLE CORE, this is what I suggest you to do:

1) connect power to the EAGLE CORE, this will power your mount too
2) align your mount
3) press the RESET button on the EAGLE CORE chassis to restart the EAGLE CORE software without removing power from the mount
4) connect to EAGLE CORE WiFi and launch the EAGLE CORE app
5) launch SkySafari

I have also tried powering the mount independently (not via the Eagle Core), but still have the same issue.

Out of curiosity, I ran a port scan against the Eagle Core and it doesn't appear to be opening port 4040 which is the port specified by PLL for SkySafari to connect over!

Cheers,

Adrian

Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck getting the mount control to work? I am using the following:

• SkySafari Pro 6 running on an Android 11 phone
• Eagle Core (2.10) 
• Skywatcher HEQ5 Pro (4.39.19)

SkySafari is unable to connect and displays a 'Check your IP Address...' warning.

I have contacted PLL regarding this issue but the only response I have had is:

"in order to control SkyWatcher mounts with SkySafari (through EAGLE CORE), you have to connect the USB cable (handpad-to-EAGLECORE) before you turn on the EAGLE CORE and not after."

I have tried all combinations I can think of with regards to what to power on first etc.

Cheers,

Adrian
