Com ports
« on: June 28, 2017, 12:32:31 »
AstroEQ is using com port 8. Should EQMod also use com port 8? When I test with the slew keys all is well. When I run EQMod toolbox coms test it says that Com port 8 does not exist.

Confuses the hell out of me.

Hi Peter, if the slew is working ok with the keys, I will not pay attention to the comm test
Just run EQASCOM toolbox, in setup area choose eqmod.exe and press the Driver setup button, and the ASCOM configuration window will appear. Here you have to setup your AstroEQ com port (8 in your case) and many other parameters

Thanks again Victor. I think that I will just have to go through the whole setup slowly step by step.
