Hi,
at the moment I have a "standard" RS232 to USB adapter from LogiLink with a Profilic PL2303 chipset connected to my mount and it works as it should.
Now I bought the Skywatcher Synscan USB dongle to replace the "bulky" LogiLink USB adapter with the new one. The dongle will be recognized by the operating system and a new ttyUSB0 device will be created. It uses the same Profilic PL2303 chipset as the LogiLink adapter but I can't connect to the mount.
I've tried all baud rates, including autoscan as direct mode. It always ends with a "Timeout Error".
Has anyone else gotten the Skywatcher Synscan USB dongle to work? Does anyone have a helpful hint for me?
Regards Martin
