SkyProdigy mount issue (starsense technology)

[mystyco]

Hi guys,

I have a Celestron Nexstar mount and I've been using ASCOM to control the telescope through my computer for a while now. Works great. However, I've recently purchased a new mount, the Celestron SkyProdigy  which has the StarSense technology, and I'm unable to make the ASCOM control the telescope. The only way for it to work is to replace the starsense hand controller by the old nexstar hand controller.

I've downloaded the most recent ASCOM platform, the most recent driver, and I have no idea why this is not working, since on ASCOM's website it says that it supports starsense.

I've tried different COM ports, tried to use stellarium, backyardeos, APT Tool etc but nothing seems to be able to detect the telescope.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
