    Default Problem Autostar Controller??



    I have purchased an ETX90 used and have tried to get it to communicate with my Win 7 computer and two different usb adaptors to no avail. I have found Weasner's site and have pin checked all wiring and have gotten correct mirroring of input using Hyperterm and shorting com pins.

    During the controller self test revealed a problem that a rep a Meade had never heard of: Instead of Press Enter, my controller displays Press Press and for a couple additional keys down the line it does the same.

    I am watching to purchase another but would like to fix this one first or in addition.

    Hmm, you might try to make sure Voltage to the scope is adequate and stable.

    Good Luck,
