Frank the Troll Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) have installed Ascom, & my camera drivers with ST4 driver which is now showing in Ascom but now what ? Thinking I need to also install EQmod for my EQ6, but how to use this with APT & stellarium, sky safari ect, I also need to use the bluetooth dongle on the EQ6 What's needed for that Cheers peeps Edited February 26, 2020 by Frank the Troll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash_old Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 1. Once EQMOD installed and connected (see (2)) APT will connect via EQMOD Ascom HEQ5/6 driver(via Ascom Chooser) when you hit and choose the correct option under "gear" tab "Connect" scope. Dont try and start Ascom by itself its not designed to work that way. 2. When Bluetooth connected before doing (1) above you should see another COM port in device settings - thats the one you use - so look at devices before pairing to see what COM devices are defined. Then pair and recheck devices to see new COM port. The later is the one used in (1) above. Haven't used the newer Stallarium since they dumped Stellarium Scope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
