SynScan Wi-Fi adapter on Windows 10

[Grierson]

I’ve just received the kit from FLO. It works fine with the app. on my elderly Android machine but no joy on the Windows 10 laptop. It will connect to the laptop and shows the mount (as HEQ5) in the connect box on the app. screen however the direction keys do nothing. I think I must have missed something. I wonder if anyone is running a working version of the W10 version of the app. Thanks - John

I missed the lengthy topic on this unit elsewhere on the forum and although it did not help with my original query it was a mine of information. Thanks to all the contributors. I now have my dongle working on W10/ Cartes du Ciel and the ‘scope slews nicely to a target however when it comes to hibernate the app. disconnects and a dialogue box appears saying ‘Error: Conversion Timeout’ and CdC freezes! I have to use task manager to close the program. I wonder it any IT specialists out there have any ideas?

I have been trying to get my Syn scan adapter to work for ages, If i  use the phone app it works fine till I leave it for an hour and then nothing works till I restart! have had loads of problems trynig to get it to operate with Win 10. Must be somebody out there that can help. Its a great idea for reducing the amount of cables but in practice it seems v hit and miss.

Ah well, update to the old Nexus 7 or back to EQMOD. Descisions, descions!

Why not close CdC first then hibernate from the app. seems to work for me on windows 10
