Summary | 0001800: trying to connect Meade Magellan I to CDC | ||||
Description | I have tried to make this connection with your Magellan I settings as exactly specified through a inbuilt serial port and through a serial to USB and every time it refuses to connect. the cables are all tested and working fine and built to the exact specifications laid out in the Meade Magellan I Manual. I keep saying cant connect - make sure it is powered on etc. Strangely with SkyMap Pro 12 it connects every time and displays properly every time without fail - so the cable is absolutely fine - I don't know what is done in that app but it is very simple to set up and very reliable - BUT .. CDC is a much nicer app with better usability and features (congratulations!!) and I would like to use that. I even tried the programme in Windows 7 on another PC here too exactly the same problem. I tried all kinds of different settings on: com ports, baud rates, parity, bits etc. of course as well as the recommended for the Magellan 1 ... ... is there something wrong with the inbuilt driverperhaps? thank you very much in advance for your help! Regards, Peter | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | following the exact procedure for connection every time. set serial port specs on Windows Devices, set the same in CDC after selecting Magellan I and so on. click on connect signal stays red with alert box saying as said earlier every time. changing different parameters in the same way as above .. same no connect - check that the cable is connected and all switched on etc. | ||||

Unfortunately I no more maintain this direct lx200 driver because I not have the require hardware to test every combination. Personally I never see a Magellan for real. In version 4.1 this driver is marked as obsolete in the telescope setting, but I let it because I know it work for some people. The recommendation is to use the Ascom drivers because they are done by people that can test with the hardware. |
