Somehow I didn't see this post.

AstroEQ requires a PC to work - EQMOD performs initialisation tasks in the firmware.

I was planning on looking at the firmware to see if I can make the ST4 port automatically initialise the mount if there is no computer connected, but I haven't done it yet. Theoretically it shouldn't be too difficult, but I need to look at it.
