Hello!
I am trying to control a EQ6 Synscan Pro mount with a laptop, running Ubuntu 15.04. I use an EQdir interface with a usb to serial cable to connect the mount to the laptop and everything works fine on windows with EQMOD ASCOM drivers.
• On Ubuntu I installed INDI library and Kstars with no errors and everything seems to work fine.
• Ubuntu recognize the serial cable and mount it on ttyUSB0.
• With minicom I set up the connection like this: 96000 8N1.
• On Kstars I choose EQMOD mount and set /dev/ttyUSB0 port.
• After a while the software returns "connection failed, probably timed out"
Should I set up the connection with a different way, or is there any other mistake I make?
Thank you for your help!
