Hi all, I recently purchased an EQ Direct Cable from Shoestring and was wondering what driver I need to download.
My PC isn't seeing the mount so I'm going to start with the cable and work back from that.
Cheers.

Re: EQ Direct Cable
First you need the Virtual COM Port driver from FTDI, found at:

Then you need the ASCOM platform, start at:
https://www.ascom-standards.org/
Then you need the EQMOD ASCOM driver, start at:
http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/
Finally, if you don't already have something installed, you will need a top layer astronomy app that supports ASCOM. There are many to choose from.
