USB C and Skywatcher EQ-6r Pro

[starfield]

Hi all.

I just got a new laptop to run my setup that uses the new USB C style ports. Went out the other night to try and hook it up to my EQ6R Pro thru the hand-controller. Neither SharpCap or PHD2 can see the mount. Windows is seeing the port as I can watch it pop-up in device manager when I plug it in. I loaded all the same drivers as my other machine (an older dell). Also swapped cables and made sure it was working. Machine has no problem seeing my camera.

At a bit of a loss on how to troubleshoot this. Wondering if there's an issue with USB C? Wouldn't expect this...but never know.

Thanks for any help or ideas.

it should work, all my other gear work of usb-c to normal usb with an adapter, haven't tried my mount on it though

So finally solved this. I needed to go into ASCOM diagnostics to enter mount/telescope info. Driver wouldn’t work until this step was completed even though it showed up in Sharpcap.
