Re: RS-232 port damaged
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt is repairable.?? I would normally be able to do that work for you, but I moved house earlier this year and things here are still not straight. ? I don¡¯t expect to be in a position to undertake any Gemini repairs until late this year at the earliest. ? If you know someone who has surface mount soldering skills and equipment, the replacement of the RS-232 port driver IC is relatively easy. ?

My last session was two nights ago. The work was fine in the first night: connect to TheSkyXPro via ¡°ATEN USB ¨CSerial Bridge¡±, using ASCOM v6.6 as mount, find the star, slew to it, taking images, and so on. But during the second night it was impossible to connect the mount to the planetarium of PC (Windows 10, ic7) through the ¡°ATEN USB ¨CSerial Bridge¡±. The PC showed that the bridge was connected. I restarted the computer without results. I used NINA and Stellarium, nothing. After I chose GM-11-G Equatorial Mount instead of ASCOM, nothing. I changed the ATEN, with the same result. Finally, I used other PC, the same. If the problem is not the planetarium, the PC, the cable, the conclusion is that the problem is in the RS-232 port. Are you agree? All the other devices connect without problem. I would greatly appreciate your advices. If the RS-232 port is damaged are there solutions? Thanks. |
