APCC Pro MGBOX GPS connection #APCC
|
Claude Benoit
For some strange reason when I try to connect to MGBOXv2 / GPS using APCC Pro 1.8.0.5 a dialogue pops up saying "Closing GPS Connection MGBoxV2: Cannot create ActiveX component." I have MGBOXV2 setup on Com 3 using the ASCOM chooser. I can connect to the environmental settings and a test shows the data comes in.
Thanks for your thoughts on this. Claude

It all works properly for me. When you say you have it on "COM 3" - shouldn't it be set to "MGBoxV2" under COM Port id APCC??
