Canon 6D not working now

First time using EKOS since the latest upgrade and now my Canon 6D will not work. I keep getting an INDI error that I need to set the mode to bulb. Which it is. I tried wiggling the knob, moving to Auto, manual and other settings and then back to bulb, but still no go. I turned off and on the camera, the Stellarmate, EKOs, and even pulled the battery and memory card. No effect. I still get the error message. But when I manually press the shutter it is certainly in bulb mode, and the 6D's display on the camera shows Bulb. Not sure what else I can try.

Will do. I was will try changing cables first. I hope to fix this soon as I want to take my gear out on a 7 night safari in Uganda this weekend.

Ok, I tried again tonight, with a different cable and it works!
I do not know if it was a bad cable, or that the other cable was simply not seated all the way.
I have not put the old cable back to verify that it was indeed a cable issue.
