Connecting PMC-Eight to ZWO ASIAIR Pro

Hi,
So I’ve ordered the EXOS2 w the PMC Eight system. Backordered at the moment. In the meantime, I was thinking of interfacing the ASIAIR Pro device to exploit full functionality of both systems; i.e. automated wireless mount driver of the PMC 8, & the camera + plate solving capabilities of the ASIAIR devices. Question: how do I set this up? I’ve noticed that the ASIAIR Application has a selection for explore scientific EXos2 in its telescope control setup menu. I’m assuming I need to attach a DB9-USB cable from the device to the PMC8. But I’m also assuming it won’t be just a plug & play situation. Thanks for your help in advance 🙏 Dino Monaco -- Dino Monaco

There’s some good documentation on setting up the PMC-Eight with the ASI Air in the files section. -Steve

It’s not exactly plug and play but it’s not far from it either.
