All SkyWatcher & Orion Mounts, including EQMod driver.
Selecting the appropiate driver for your mount usually depends on two factors:
Mount | Driver | Connection Method | Comments |
|
EQMod Mount |
EQDirect Cable |
This cable is a DIRECT cable from mount to your device. No handset is connected nor required in this setup.
|
|
EQMod Mount |
Bluetooth |
Use a Bluetooth adapter from Mount to your device. You must pair and trust the Blueooth dongle first from your PC/Device. The dongle should create a serial port (e.g. /dev/rfcomm0) that you need to select when connecting to the mount. Quite a few EQMod blueooth dongles have been obsoleted. Therefore, it is generally NOT recommended to connect to your Mount using bluetooth. |
|
EQMod Mount |
Select Network in EQMod Connection tab. Ensure IP address is correct before establishing connection to the mount. Do not use EQMod Mount driver to connect to any Alt-Az mount via the dongle, EQMod Mount driver can only operate Equatorial Mounts. |
