jaygpoo Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 So my question regards eqmod. I have setup a small pc next to my mount and it has the lastest version of windows. However it refuses to find the eqmod cable. If I connect my laptop that has widows 10 but an older version it finds it straight away. I am using the Lynx astro FTDI connector but its asking for a driver I have all the drivers in it that are in my laptop? Is there a special driver for the Lynx in the lastest windows 10? Could anyone give me a link to a genuine driver? jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBucket Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 It usually just requires the FTDI chipset driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

symmetal Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Windows 10 has FTDI drivers built in so you don't need to install other drivers. Sometimes plugging it into a different USB port will kickstart Windows into recognizing it. With it plugged in, check in Windows 'Device Manager' to see if a device has a yellow exclamation mark against it (probably in the COM ports section). If so right click it and select 'Uninstall device'. Then unplug and re-plug your EQMOD adapter and see if windows now recognizes it. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
