Hi G-man, I am glad you are seeing continued success with the ASCOM driver, but I am curious about your experience with giving the app one more chance. It sounds like that you experienced the same

So, we put a solid 5 hour astronomy session tonight after the skies cleared for good, a bit of scintillation on the stars but overall way better than overcast snowstorm. Before going the ASCOM route

Hello Lucas, I‘ve just installed kstars (win 10). Which settings do I have to do to connect it with my Exos2GT and where can I find the according menue bar? Best regards

So I am working on a wifi adapter for my Meade lx200. The thing is working well so far and it has some great properties. If I can get it all sorted here is what it can do and how it will resolve all

Thanks Jerry, it sure looks like the possibilities are endless for this system. G.

Thank you, Jerry! G.

Hi G. The design of the PMC-Eight controller from the beginning took into account a multi-channel architecture that would have multiple 2-channel boards on a common communications bus. The command

Jerry, glad to be on this side of the fence. The future of this PMC8 stuff seems bright... would be super nice if you guys could use the RS-232 to add slave boards to control other things (dome,

Hi Karl, I would not say it is outside the warranty. If you are competent to do the hardware reset without breaking the board somehow, then the warranty would still be in place. Otherwise, if the

Jerry, Thanks for the information. It's good to know there is a hardware reset, even if it's a bit complicated (and presumably way outside of warranty). I guess I now have to decide how badly I want

Dear Jerry: I appreciate the fact that I am able to get the engineer who designed the program that I'm using to respond (within minutes often times) for any technical questions I have, and even the

Hi G. I appreciate you advocating for using the ASCOM driver with whatever ASCOM client is desired in place of the ExploreStars application, but I must point out that the ExploreStars app on Windows,

@ Darryl: No Android for me, Stellarium runs on a Windows 7 laptop using the WiFi connection. I haven't used the RS232 so far, but I think I know what commands are needed to connect the mount to my

If you are referring to using the ASCOM driver via the USB-DB9 adapter cable then the correct sequence to start up the system is to: 1. Plug the USB-DB9 cable into your PC and ensure that it is

Hi Karl, To change the configuration of the WiFi module you can only do that over the WiFi link as you have determined. YOU MUST BE COMFORTABLE WITH MAKING THESE TYPES OF CONFIGURATION CHANGES PRIOR

Sometimes when I hook up all needed wires click on PCM EIGHT THEN OPEN SOFTWARE IT DOES NOT communicate so I close software restart windows surface go then plug back in it connects immediately. I’m

Darryl, My experience has been that you must connect the PMC8 as normal along with the hardwire to your computer - then you must go into your network settings and find the PMC connection and connect
