Unable to connect to SynScan HC using Stellarmate.

Hi.

I have recently purchased the StellarmateOS (mainly for the companion app) and I am unable to get the SynScan driver to communicate with my mount.
I have a very basic Skywatcher (skywatcher.com/product/az-gt/) with a v4 HC and the latest firmware.

It does work with a PC (no issues using it with stellarium native, or ASCOM).

I AM able to connect to it if I tell Stellermate that its a NexStar (although its a bit iffy, there seems to random problems when doing an alignment) and I can also connect if I say its an EQMod (although it will connect, I doubt it will be usable as EQmod doesn't have an Az mode).
I have tried all the different baud rates, PC Direct mode on and off, as well as the legacy SynScan drivers and am still unable to get a connection.

Any ideas why?

Cheers.

Hi Steve,

I updated the Skywatcher drivers documentation: www.indilib.org/telescopes/skywatcher.html

At any rate, as I said in my previous response, check the baud rate. I believe you're using direct USB cable, right?
