libraryman Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I have read through several posts on the EQdir cable and it has left me slightly confused (quite normal for me)I have an EQ8 that i am controlling through an EQdir cable that came with the mount, it plugs into my powered USB hub then to the mount! it's the only EQdir cable i have and need a spare at least!As i understand it, i can i make my own, however I'm not sure if it has to be 3.3 volt or 5 volt!Anyone help with that info and the parts i need?Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's 3.3v but even I didn't make my own for fear of making a mistake and blowing up my nice new mount. I got mine from FLO http://www.firstlightoptics.com/astronomy-cables-leads-accessories/hitecastro-eqdir-adapter.html. I didn't get one included with the mount.
