I am trying to connect my new laptop to my LX200. I have an original
10" Lx200 (1998) and The Sky version 4 level 2. This works perfectly
on my old laptop with a serial port. My new laptop only has usb ports
so i have bought a serial port to usb adapter which seems to work ok.I
am connecting using the rs232 port on the lx200 but the software
settings in the Sky software only lists com ports 1-4 and baud rates.
I have tried these but with no success. Has anyone tried to connect
using this version of the software by usb ?.Any idea on settings?.
You need to make sure your USB adapter is mapped to one of the first
four COM ports. The details for doing the vary slightly with the adapter
you are using, but generally you can go into Device Manager and either
(1) find the adapter listed separately, and open its properties dialog
to assign ports, or (2) open the properties of your ports and assign the
COM number to the one being used by your adapter.
