Skywatcher SAM PC connectivity

#1

Post by maceemiller »


Hi all.

So, I have the skywatcher star adventurer mini and I love it....works perfectly....except....

I'm trying to get the dithering working and so far I cant....

I can add a dither value when the WIFI is off yet when I turn the WiFi on it wipes out the value and runs without dithering?

Looking on Google ive downloaded and installed all the drivers, etc I need from skywatcher.com yet no dithering??

I've tried SAM on a windows 10 and 7 laptop with multiple cables and my machines do not recognise SAM is connected. All I want to do is update the firmware as ive read this will allow dithering yet it seems impossible to do.

Any advice?

Hi all, just a quick update....

If anyone else has connection issues its 99.9% the USB lead itself.

I've been puzzled as to why I couldn't connect SAM to my PC for ages and overthought things too much.

I used my daughters tablet USB cable and it worked first time!.

Maybe a schoolboy error yet hope this may help some poor frustrated person in the future......
