Vince, thanks for your reply as I just bought a new one my self after some unhealthy stretch from a footfall of my granddaughter on the cord. This is a conundrum as the computer end and the scope end

Drivers. It's always been the drivers for me. I had trouble with the brand new adapter from AP. Even though the PC said it was ready for use....it wasn't. Snooping around on device manager showed a

1. The old adapter is probably fine, except for a flaky USB connection. Try a new USB cable with the adapter, if possible. 2. FTDI Serial-to-USB chips all have an electronic serial number that the PC

Hi, My existing USB to Port serial adapter has failed and when I replaced it with a new one I cannot connect to the mount. I have checked the port number and it is the same on the mount and

Yeah the motor cables are the only thing connecting the encoders to the control box as well. That's why I suspected that connection. Especially after you said the LED was blue. On the 1100 there's an

I had the same problem. I contacted AP and they sent me a replacement power supply. I was also a bit surprised by the quick failure of this component. I don’t think I have ever had a power supply

So I got my Mach2 in December, and I've been powering it with the included AC adapter since then. The brick seems to have died on me already. There's not a lot of 24V 10A supplies around, and I'm
