Nice ! You got farther than I had expected already in that you have the rights to open the serial port and the focuser even says 'hi'.
I assume we now need to set the proper line ending, the spec wants \r\n , that is a carriage return and a line feed. And minicom can be told to use this in the menu.
When you go to the menu with Meta-Z in Mac (CTRL-A Z in Linux) you get a menu with ao. these two lines :

Add Carriage Ret...U
Add linefeed.......A
When you press U the setting is toggled, the menu exits and you get to see a line at the bottom briefly stating
Add carriage return ON
or
Add carriage return OFF
And similar for when you press A.
You want both carriage return and linefeed ON.
Then try again with
