Hi,
I am new to this forum. I have got an AZ-GTi skywatcher mount.
I can connect the mount to my windows pc (windows 10) via wifi using the wifi on the mount, and EQMOD.
However, I am unable to connect via serial connection using an EQdirect cable connected from the windows USb port
to the mounts control port (no handset). I got a replacement cable from Flow Optics as this was the only part of
the connection loop that I could not test - this made no difference.
Whenever I try to connect after setting all the settings as recommended on various web sites, i.e. correct port number
custom settings for the Az-gti, location, etc, I just get "timeout" please re-connect the telescope.
I have the ASCOMPlatform65, EQUASCOM_V200q and the synscan for windows app.
I have tried connecting using N.I.N.A., but I get the same timeout message.
I have aslo tried connecting via stellarium (works with wifi connection, timeout when using eqdirect cable)
Has anybody any idea what is causing this, I do not know what else to try.
One last note, I am running windows 10 on a MacBook Air under bootcamp (to run windows 10), EQMOD does
not run on apple system.
any help would be much appreciated
Robert
