James. Thanks very much for the quick reply! I have tried several times to get the wireless thing to work and have tried it with both the Hot Spot and the alternate configuration. I have not been successful in either approaches. Regarding the 'preferred' method using the Station Mode, I could connect to the mount with my phone app and then modify the Station mode with the Stellarmate IP of 10.250.250.1 and PW. However, after APPLYING the configuration to the mount, it does not seem to save it correctly in that after that, when I change my phone WiFi to the Stellarmate Wifi address, I cannot access the mount via SynScan on my phone and when I go back again to using the SynScan Wifi and re-connecting with the mount, I CAN connect again but the mount does not seem to save the Station configuration. Also. after again re-setting the mount to Station Mode at the Stellarmate IP and PW and again applying (via my phone of course), when I update the configuration in EKOS with the AZGTi driver, EKOS will not connect to the mount.
I saw a subsequent post by Mr. Wilson indicating that the EQMOD driver works with the serial cable that I have and this morning, I re-set it up using the cable and after deleting any other configurations in EKOS and re-setting ups a new one and then setting the serial port for the EQMOD as directed, it WORKS now (using the connect to Stellarmate from my PC and the Stellarmate Wifi on my PC). I have NO idea why I could not get it to work yesterday (which was a day of frustration), but it does work today (so who knows what I was doing incorrectly). So I can get EKOS to communicate with the EQMOD driver and EQMOD serial cable, but I am not able to get the wireless connection scheme to work by either Station mode or Hot Spot mode...
Not sure what I am doing incorrectly and not sure why the mount will not save the Station configuration. But thanks for the help.

So far as updating my EKOS in Stellarmate, I have not been able to figure that out at this time. I can connect to Stellarmate via my phone app but I don't see any place to update to the latest version of EKOS. Sorry for my ignorance. If you can provide a screen shot of an iPhone app and where to do the update, that would be great. Also, I have my Stellarmate connected to an HDMI monitor and keyboard/mouse but do not find anyplace to update with that method as well.
Thanks again,
Regards
Steve
