I'm having a crazy time getting EQMOD to recognize the COM port on my laptop. This happened about a month ago when I first started using EQMOD and Stellarium and
I was using it with my Orion Skyview Pro mount for a couple three weeks. Since then I bought a SkyWatcher mount and successfully connected it on the first try. I used it all last night without any issues.
This morning I tried to use a simulation telescope in EQMOD and that's when the problem started. Now I can't connect either mounts and EQMOD says com port "not found". EQMOD also doesn't open when Stellarium opens like it used to. I read some other posts and it always seems to end by someone saying "buy a Cable of some sort". LOL I dont want to buy another cable , this thing was working great last night.
So of the things i tried.
System restore
Different USB cable
Uninstall port driver
Use different USB port
Reinstalled EQMOD
Turned off Windows firewall and anti virus software. The computer is new and working flawlessly, btw.
Any help would be appreciated! This is super frustrating.
