I selected to update via the web using my wireless connection. More on this port contention later.) Back to the Autostar Update application, which successfully connected to the Autostar. So, back to the Autostar Suite to disconnect it from the Autostar.
MEADE AUTOSTAR SUITE MANUAL SERIAL
Probably because the serial port was in use by the Autostar Suite application. I tried to get the Autostar Update application to connect to the Autostar but it couldn't find the comm port. (We Mac users are spoiled by the power of our OS.). I guess Windows applications can't tell other Windows applications what to do like Macintosh applications can using Apple Events. But no connection to the Autostar was made nor did the update automatically start. This launched the Autostar Update application. Since communication was working I selected "Update Autostar" from the Telescope menu. This only occurred when starting stopping was instantaneous. Unfortunately there was about a one second delay from the time I pressed a button on the Control Panel window to the time the telescope reacted. I connected via the serial port and I was able to slew and focus the ETX-125 using the "Control Panel" in the application. So I launched the Autostar Suite application to try to update the Autostar.īut first I wanted to verify the connection to the Autostar from the Autostar Suite application. I launched the Autostar Update application 3.61 and verified it could connect to the Autostar #497 it did and showed that version 3.0Ee was installed. It was NOT enabled in the VirtualPC USB settings (only the LPI should be enabled), as seen here: VirtualPC was configured to use the Keyspan as Com Port 1 as shown here: This device allows the serial cable from the Autostar to connect to the USB port on the Macintosh (or PCs without USB). I connected the Autostar to my PowerBook 17" using the Keyspan Twin Serial converter. Weasner's Meade Autostar Suite on a Macintosh AUTOSTAR SUITE ON A MACINTOSH
