Hi all

A friend is trying to make a cable for a SkySensor 2000PC and is having
trouble making it work. We've checked the wiring out and it seems to be
perfect. Having double, tripel checked it we've checked it again to be
sure,
it looks perfect.

He's got the SkySensor in LX2000 Emulation mode. When the cable is
plugged
in, it doesn't do anything.

Does anyone have any experience with these cables. Specifically for the
SkySensor 2000PC. I've already made a few for my Meade LX90, which work
fine.

I'm looking for some foolproof way of testing that

a. The cable is correct and
b. The SkySensor is working properly.


Hi Colin.

Is your PC software confirming that the link has been established? There is
a known bug in some of the earlier ss2k software versions which means that
you sometimes have to try to connect many times before a successful
connection is made. (I have software v2.04 which seems to behave ok) You
could try trawling the archives of the ss2k Yahoo group for more
information.
