Skywatcher SAM PC connectivity
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?

Re: Skywatcher SAM PC connectivity
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......
