Portname issue on PHD2

[Portech7]

Hi all

I'm having issues trying to get my mount on PHD2.

It sees it in the program but when I try to set up equipment I keep getting a Portname warning telling me the Portname cannot be empty.

I've got the Eq direct cable and all the latest ascom down loads.

Camera is fine but mount is not having it.

I can operate the mount from laptop via EQ direct cable.

It's confusing me on the port name warning.

Any ideas welcomed.

Would help to know what mount and which drivers you have loaded. 

I've never seen that message in PHD2 before, but could be about the COM port. 

If you look in Windows Device Manager / COM ports you should see your cable and the COM port number it has occupied. 

Put that number in the empty box in PHD2.

Got it sorted now, it was the comport reference. Once added all good.

Learning curve 😁
