Mach 1 not connecting
|
Jon Swanson
I had an odd experience tonight. My Mach 1 just disconnected for some unknown reason and I cannot get it connected again. The light is showing red. I tried connecting through both SkyX and Maxim to no avail. Shut down and restarted computer soft and hard as well as disconnecting all cables when doing it and unplugging power from mount. Nothing. ASCOM just spins and shows 12:00 and no connection. ASCOM is up to date. Any other ideas would be helpful.

I should add for the community that this sounds like a problem with user context in Windows. Meaning, you have something running in admin mode and standard user mode. At any rate it isnt hard to fix.

Or....
You have a cable that failed. If you are using a Mach 1 with CP4 and you are not using Ethernet... that would not be a wise decision.
Still, give me a shout and we can poke at it. 🙂

Hi Bill,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I am off to bed tonight. I am going to try it again tomorrow and see in the daylight if I can find anything. I am going to change the Ethernet cable as that is really the last external thing. Like you I am sensing something else because SkyX locked up at the same time and I had to reboot to get it started. Then the problems began...... It is not the mount but computer based.

This morning I changed the Ethernet cable and all is well. It was a good night to have things go kaput with the humidity being what it was/is here in AZ at the moment. A very dewy night.
