EQMod with EQDir cable |
updated: 2021-08-04 |
For the EQMOD system, use an EQDir cable (USB-A to RJ45 with 8 wires) with FTDI chipset and connect your mount with ASIAIR PRO.
Note: If using ASIAIR Pro in conjunction with SkySafari Pro select [EQMod Mount] or [EQMod with SkySafari] in the app.
Do not mix up the this EQDir adapter cable with a USB-A to RS232 adapter cable that uses a 4-wire RJ9 connector instead, for comparison see RS232 connection via hand controller or Direct RS232 connection.
If using SkySafari Pro: see chapter Connecting SkySafari on ASIAIR Pro for more information.
