Re: Servocat rs232 (only) connection to Nexus DSC
Bentley, Please re-read what I just sent - the DSC connection, which is the means by which the ServoCAT knows how fast to run (for tracking) and how far it is to an object (for GOTO) is only through

Re: Servocat rs232 (only) connection to Nexus DSC
Hello Gary, Thanks for the reply. I currently have both the RS232 and the USB ports connected on the Nexus DSC and the ServoCat.? I have a friend who is using Nexus DSC with ServoCat, he has only the

Re: Servocat rs232 (only) connection to Nexus DSC
Bentley, The only way for the ServoCAT to "talk" to the digital setting circle is through the RS232 serial port. This is required no matter what else you're doing. IF you want to also have a

I've been working with Keith Venables (co-creator of the ScopeDog alt-az drive for dobs) in order to make his eFinder (plate-solving alignment system: http://astrokeith.com/equipment/efinder/ ) work

That¡¯s great George! I haven¡¯t had my scope out in months due to a back injury. I am hoping to do so in a few weeks

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
I finally had a night I could try out my own driver! I verified that move axis, syncing, and getting scope status + position worked. I couldn't get GOTO working, but Gary and Peter reminded me I need

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Alex: I am sorry for the delayed response to your post.? I initially tried POTH with Peter's driver, with the same (non-)results.? During our conversations, Peter suggested I try ASCOM Device Hub.

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Hi Gary, It has been a very long time since we have had conversation. Good to hear from you. Congratulation on your upcoming retirement. So, you think you are busy now, wait until you fully retire. I

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Bob, Good to hear from you - long time no hear, I hope you are doing well. So there are 2 ports on the ServoCAT but they are not the same protocol - they are not even the same purpose. One is for the

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Paul, very strange to have two connections sharing the same protocol. Seems like a recipe for disaster. Many moons ago when I had the Gen1 SC I was testing some beta software that allowed a Windows CE

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Bob: When I am not connected to the PC and am just using the Nexus DSC to control the SC, there are two wired connections between the Nexus and SC: 1.? Nexus USB port to SC USB port 2.? Nexus Serial

Hi Bob.? Thanks for your suggestions.? What I did not disclose in my original post, because it would add unwanted complications, is that what you described was how I initially attempted to connect

Re: Has Anyone Successfully Connected to/Used a ServoCAT ASCOM Driver?
Paul, The topography you have implemented is the same as what you would use on the Argo Navis and it looks like what is described in the Nexus manual in the Motor driven telescopes section. However in

George, This sounds great. ?Plate solving would be a huge upgrade for me. Is there a link to download your driver? Thank-you for producing this driver. Richard Miller
