connection problem with the Sky and Guide 8   Message List

I cheched the DB9 connection. Three of them are connected with pins 2,3 and 5
 
As for now i didn't encountered such a problem. the strange thing is that through ccd soft move commands the fs 2 is moving the mount correctly but no way for the Sky and Guide to be connected (??)
I will do some test this evening to see either ccdsoft or Maxim will work in guiding mode.

Hello Christian,

> At this time i'm unable to get a connection with these softwares
(Lx200 not responding...)

Do you use a true RS232 port, or a USB<-->RS232 adapter?
If you use an adapter, you must download the latest version of Guide8
from the website. Guide8 from the CD-Rom has a bug and doesn't work
with USB adapters.

I have no idea why it doesn't work with TheSky. Normally it should work.
