Gemini 1 connecting to laptop

[email protected] #32998 Could somebody please help me. I have the old Gemini 1 and i wish to connect it to my laptop, what connector do i need to go into RS 232 socket and then a USB to attach to my laptop. Can you purchase this type of connector? Would this all work with the Gemini software were you can control your telescope from your laptop? Thank you Ken UK
Paul Kanevsky All Messages By This Member #32999 Hi Ken, You'll just need a USB to serial adapter with the appropriate cable for Gemini-1. USB/Serial adapters are fairly inexpensive, just get one that has the driver for the version of Windows that you plan to use. FTDI chipset-based adapters have been reported as being more reliable and seem to work better with Gemini. Gemini-1 user manual has the pin-out of the serial cable connector if you want to make one or buy one from a third-party, or you might be able to order one from Losmandy. Once you have the USB->Serial adapter, you'll be able to use Gemini ASCOM driver with all telescope control, automation, and other astronomy software that works with ASCOM.

Regards? Ken? Here's one that I used recently:? You'll also need a special cable from this adapter 9 pin DB9 connector to the small telephone-plug type connector on the Gemini side.
