EQMOD and CDC

[Ronzi83]

Hello dear astronomers.

On my laptop i have ASCOM platform 6 installed with all drivers , i am using CDC skychart for controling the telescope and maximDL 5 for capturing with CCD and PHD for guiding. The problem i have is that telescope/mount disconnect somehow from my CDC program. It is almost like i would pull out usb cable and back in. I need to close CDC and EQMOD (ctrl+alt+del...taskmanager and than eqmod - end task) cose if i just close it normaly it wont conect it back, i need to close it with task manager(alt+ctrl+del). SO i conect it all back like on start and is working. So, after while (mayby 1h) it crashed again, this is happening me now and i have no idea what to do anymore. I checked all my kordinates and altitude that is ok on SynScan and CDC+EQMOD, i run diagnostic on EQMOD...

Please, soone help me with advice. Btw, i have WIN 7 (615 Compaq laptop if anyone need info)

Admin, if is wrong post for section you can move me to right one, i am new to forum.

Thank you

Greg

Greg, I can't help you, but have you tried posting direct to the Yahoo EQMod group?

On facebook yea, but no help.

Greg we had this same type of problem come up a short time ago.

There seems to be a strict start up proceedure of all the programes you are running.

I will look back through my posts to see if I can find it again.

i dont really belive that is order how u open programs tbh. But thats just me

[Ronzi83]

ok, not sure if i got solution but i think the problem is with USB hub, i unchecked power savings for usb + i should use POTH hub control.

Will let you know

this is an old post but I have discovered if you have EQmod running and then plug in the USB lead into my QHY5 and start PHD, EQmod hangs or crashes. With a 'RPC server not running' message. If You start EQmod after PHD & lead plug in, all is well
