Hello Ady, Did you end up building your cable? Can I have a closeup picture to take a look at the colors of the cables in the pins, please? Its not crear to me if the pinout depicted in the manual is the female or male part and also how to know the colors of the pins that come from the usb side. I have a cable which I bought that doesn't work, so I assume is not the correct pinout, thats what I want to correct. Thanks for your help. regards, Jorge

Hello Jeremy, were you able to fit the first clamp in your picture?

Not to leave this thread open, I managed to resolve the issue of the mount stuck in firmware update mode with the Skywatcher WiFi dongle. It’s a pity this was the only possible solution offered by skywatcher, as having a WiFi dongle is useless for a mount that has WiFi already, but then again updating the firmware through the dongle solved the issue.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will make sure my router is shut down and my phone and iPad (PC is off) are not polling the AZ ssid to see if it performs the 4hour reset and goes out of the firmware update state.

No serial cable, I tried the firmware update via wifi.

Hello, I got this mount a couple of weeks ago. Everything was working fine until I decided to update the firmware to the EQ version. I was about to flash the firmware for eq mount, it went to 1% and then reported an error asked to power cycle and try again. I did that but now I can connect to the wifi of the mount but it doesn't find it. In the android app, I can connect to the wifi but when I press connect it finds the wifi but there is no mount present. The mount led is blinking 3 times, indicating it has entered firmware update process but there is no way of getting out of that state. Is there a way to hard reset this unit? It’s powered on for more than 4 hours with no activity but the status is the same. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
