Synscan V3 hand controller firmware update cable

[Acrab67]

Hello,

I recently bought an second hand EQ6 Pro II mount with a sysncan V3. The fact is that the seller did not provide me the cable to update the hand controller firmware . Could someone help me and facilitate the pinout to make me one?.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Welcome

I use a v3 controller and haven't yet updated it and I've been using it for years, it is on the list to do but the controller is working fine so haven't rushed to do it.

Do you have a serial port on your pc or laptop?

Thanks for answering.

I have always liked having the material updated, usually introducing improvements in functionality. I don't have a serial port on my pc, but I have a serial to USB port adapter to use. I would need the pinout cable connection to make me one

Page 45 of the Synscan user manual has the information you need:

There are two pages of search results on here using synscan pinouts you might find something that helps there. I would also check for posts about upgrading when using a serial to USB connector.

Could someone confirm if this scheme is correct?
