Nexremote For Mac

Автор:

Hello,I am having trouble connecting my Scope to my PC.I have a Celestron NexStar 4SE (version 4.12), the supplied RS-232 cable along with a RS-232 to USB converter (because I know of no laptops that have a RS-232 port these days!! - why Celesetron, why??). The coverter came with a mini-cd containing a multitude of different drivers.I have installed the NexRemote software on my PC along with pretty much all the available drivers on the CD (as I don't know which one is specific) and connected all the cabeles up, started the program and greeted with the settings interface. I have my NexStar connected upto a 12V power tank and the scope is switched on. The RS-232 cable is placed into the base of the hand control.The PC version of the 'hand control' states the follwing:- PC Port: 3 or 9, where 9 can be either 9, 10, 11 or 12 depending on which USB port I am using, don't know what PC port '3' is.- Model: NextStar 4/5SE- Virtual Port: NoneIf I choose 'PC Port 3' then I get the following: Unable to connect with telescopeHowever if I choose 'PC Port 9, 10, 11 or 12' then I get: Internal ErrorCan anyone help, I tried to do this earlier on in the summer and pretty sure that I got it to work, but a few months later it isn't working. Thanks for your replies guys.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything numerous times (nexremote, RS232 drivers etc).The only strange thing I notice is that when i look at the coms port it never shows a 'prolific USB to serial' connection, it simply isn't listed. It assigns a COM port to what I assumed was the telescope, but i doesn't mention anything about the prolific cable.Would I see two seperate entries under ports for the telescope and thr RS232 connection? Or would it be just one one?

If it's just one then it doesn't look like it is recognising the connection properly if it isn't displaying 'prolific' in the ports list. I'll have to see if I can find some drivers for it, but I basically just bought a cable from Amazon that fit into the RS232 cable supplied with the telescope and had a USB connection at the other end. I'm not even sure if there is a manufacturers name on the adaptor cable I bought.What I find odd is that it worked before without any problem what so ever and I haven't changed anything. Very odd.Does anything I have detailed narrow down the issue at all?I have searched for loads and loads of RS232 drivers and installed loads of them, but none of them seem to make any difference. Are you sure it's a real Prolific USB to serial device?

There are a lot of clones about and they can be doubtful - to say the least.Even a good Prolific device can be problematic. I've got one that's fine on a short cable (2m) but is very unreliable with a long cable (5m). FTDI and IOGear USB to serial adaptors are fine with the long cable.ChrisYou can get good length on these if you use the right combination of cables. My setup works well as follows.PC 5m Active Repeater USB 2.0 Extentsion Cable Mains Powered 7 Port USB 2.0 HUB Prolific USB-Serial Cable 3m RS232 - Handset CableBefore i built my OBS i was looking at creating a wiring solution that would run from the scope to the house, once i got the OBS up & running i used this cable & run it around the back of the OBS and keep alll the cable out of the way. The links for the bits are as below.I cant for the life of me remember where i got the longer RS232 cable from but it was recommended to by people here, as for the prolific adaptor i must have just got lucky with mine being genuine because its always worked.As for the Nexstar software im sure i installed it and it was working prior to me even realising what ASCOM was all about, i suppose its possible there might be some on the disc.I think strip everything out and start again, clean installs. Just a thought are you using Windows Vista by any chance?

That was notorious for drivers not working well for hardware devices.Cheers. Are you sure it's a real Prolific USB to serial device?

There are a lot of clones about and they can be doubtful - to say the least.This is the conclusion I have come to having tried everything mentioned here and more. I have read about many people having problems with this type of device due to the clones you mentioned, and that a lot of these are coming from China. I ran the chipset identifier that came with the latest prolific zip download and guess what? It told me there was no chipset identified, no matter what port I plugged the device into.

Darn and blast it!So, I have now ordered a new one to see if that sorts the problem out.What a pain in the. Edited October 23, 2012 by euphony.
