  1. I have the eq5 with the synsccan upgrade kit is the 12v 2A the right power adapter... Just wondering because the black box was getting warm and i dont want to blow the thing
  2. So its not as difficult as it looks then
  3. Im hoping to start guiding for the first time next time i get out... My setup is a SW evoguide 50ed, asi 120mm-s, i am lost on what settings i use in phd2.... Ive done a lot of reading but ive got all confused on what i should be doing.. I just havent got a clue...
  4. Ive got it going round smooth now... I loosened the two bolts behind the 3 on the front and then adjusted it then tighten the bolts back up... Seemed to have done the trick
  5. I can turn back hand smoothly and there no change in sound in the motors... Thanks
  6. Thanks ive got the slack out but how tight is to tight..... I can rotate it all the way round and it feels smooth
  7. Misses found these and bought them....
  8. I will have another look when i take the motors off.... I dont really want to strip it down as im not that confident
  9. It really frustrating because i cant get rid of it... All bolts are tightened after ive adusted the grub screw
  10. Ive just done a full circle in the ra axis on my eq5 and theres a bit of play and a bit of tightness in certain areas.... I tried adjusting with the grub nut but when i take the slack out its more tight in places and when i tighten it a bit it becomes more loose in other areas anyone no why
  11. I will have a look tomorrow... Then i need to figure out where all the cables go.... Thanks for the help on this
  12. So really i need to just check the worm cog on the mount its self and leave the motors alone
  13. Ive just took the casing off to have a look and the very small cog turns a bit.. Does this need sorting out
  14. This is what im doing while the weathers bad thats why so many quetions
  15. Ok so this is the first thing to check then and does everything need to be off the mount..... Sorry for all the silly questions but this is my first real setup ive built up and i want thing to be right
  16. Thanks.... Can i check if i have backlash indoors or do i need to be setup outside
  17. Wow thanks.... I have sharpcap pro and using windows 10....... How do you correct backlash if i have it
  18. Ive just got to figure out how to use it all together.. I want to use cam through apt, guide through phd... I followed some instructions from light vortex astronomy.... It all looks very complicated
  19. Im using the eq5..... I managed to get it connected... I downloaded some ftdi driver and went back to device manager and my com number was there... Havent got a clue how i did it.....
  20. How do i connect to eqmod im using the lynx astro ftdi eqdir usb cable but doent seem to be able to find a port/com number
