CGEM/NINA/PHD2 query

[stevepsheehan]

Morning all.

I'm setting my rig up for full remote control, and am having a bit of a blip re setting up guiding.

Mount is a Celestron CGEM, and I'm using NINA and PHD2, run from a NUC at the scope. If I connect PHD2 on its own, as I used to, it connects fine, but if I have NINA running, and start PHD2, I get the message "mount does not support the required pulse guide interface". 

I'm not sure whether I should still be connecting the ST4 cable, or if the guide signals are sent to the mount via the NUC-CGEM cable, or if this is something I have to change a setting for somewhere.

It's probably just me being a bit dim, but if anyone can enlighten me re this, it would be most appreciated.

TIA,

Steve

Hi Steve, I suspect it's ST4 cable and I haven't used one for years, just one additional cable to get rid of. Replace the ST4 setup in PHD2 with the CGEM CGEM Ascom driver as your mount.

Cheers Steve - I'll give that a go, and will report back.
