Hi all, I've just loaded on a usb to serial converter to control my Lx200GPS thru a usb port but am having problems. The usb/serial converter has loaded onto...
Go to the Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Device Manager>Ports and see what port your usb to serial converter is using. Make sure there are no conflicts...
HI Larry, Just tried your suggestion but still no-go. when I choose "Meade telescope and Focuser" I get a message saying " Failed to load driver.Only one...
"Generic LX-200" is an old driver that I would not bother with. You should use "Meade Telescope and Focuser" and I would also suggest that you get the latest...

Larry. I've loaded the new Meade driver (thanx for the link) and can connect using the normal com port, ie com1, with the serial cable using the "Meade and...
Hello Michael Just wondering dose your converter come with drivers?? The reason why I ask is because I needed to load drivers for my converter. Go to start,...
Another thought is to try using a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, to send commands directly to the LX200. This will help to tell if the problem is...
Hi All, We have come across a problem in that our GOTO system won't work with ASCOM serial interface but it has been working for years with The Sky, SkyMap Pro...
I've loaded the correct drivers and can see in the device manager that the usb/serial converter is loaded at com2. I just cant seem to get Ascom to look at...

Thanks Bob and Mel, I will give it a go. Will be a day or so. When opening serial ports I have taken a defensive programming attitude in the past and always...
... Okay, this sounds like an LX200 firmware bug, not a MaxIm bug. A workaround might be to have the ASCOM LX-200 driver momentarily change the slew rate...

... As I understand it, using the autoguiding inputs on the LX200 classic causes the hand paddle buttons to behave strangely. It may also be affecting GOTO...
Hello all; Does anyone know if the simulator has any updated features. I appears some of the telescope methods provided for the simulator are not supported...
Dear Bob & Mel, The RTS patch did the trick! It has revealed a possible communication problem in that the interface is not understanding my standard LX200 ...
You'll need a real LX200 for that. The simulator does not implement any particular serial line protocol. It just implements the behavior of a telescope....

I read through the discussions about focus offsets and the Camera standard. At present the Filter Wheel proposal has no provision for focus offsets. I propose...
Bob, Can you post the latest of the proposed standards (or send a link to where they are)? I have so many copies now that I am not sure which one is correct....
