Sky watcher AZ-GTi mount driver

Hi, Just wondering which Driver I should use for my AZ-GTi mount, as I want to use it in Wired EQ mode,
I can only see drivers for Wireless EQ mode.
The mount is a nightmare for losing its hotspot settings, and I mount my StellarMate directory to tie mount, so i'd rather a direct cable.
I can see it has a wired AZ mode driver, but no wired eq

Thanks in advance for any help, Darren

Hi Darren,

Just search the Forum :-) And please avoid double posts on the same subject ;-)

E.g. indilib.org/forum/stellarmate/13947-skyw...-problems.html#96342

If I remember right you could use the network connection instead of serial.

Do you have something like this?

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I could use the network connection as described, but it's a hassle as my mount keeps losing its hotspot settings, and the wireless will sometimes disconnect the mount.
That's why I wanted the wired or serial connection, stability.

I'll have another look online and see if there is another way around it.
But a wired connection is what I need, I've been using it in AZ mode just because of the wired connection option.
Cheers, Darren.

Hi Darren,

I just added a link to a cable to the above post (cheap SW clone I think). This is also the way I use the Indi EQmod driver with my SW EQ-6. yet will be plugged into the hand controller port.

But I can not guarantee that this particulat cable really works - but makes sense, since this is a simple serial connection.

Cheers, Axel

Hi, I've been trying different drivers and found I can use just the standard SW eqmod driver, and it works fine with the AZ-GTi using my prolific serial cable.
I don't need to use the AZ-GTi INDI driver at all.

Thanks, Darren.

If anyone stumbles upon this thread and still likes to use WiFi: Jasem made a great video about the network theme:
