Motor Control Firmware Updates v.2.2.4

  • Microsoft Windows XP32, Windows 2000 and older.  

Our latest hand control firmware for computerized goto telescopes, now allows you to update the motor control (telescope mount) firmware through the hand control.  Our hand control firmware is still updated by connecting the RS-232 hand control serial cable (part #93920) directly to the hand control, and then to a computer with an internet connection.

Previously, motor control updates were done through the telescope’s PC Port (CPC and CGE series) using our Programming Cable (part #93922). If your telescope did not have a PC Port (Advanced GT, NexStar SE and NexStar SLT series), you would also have needed our Auxilliary Port Accessory Kit (part #93965)

Our NexStar SE and CPC Series already ship with the RS-232 Cable.  And, if your computer lacks a serial port for the RS-232 Cable, you will also need our USB to RS-232 Converter Cable (# 18775) to connect to your computer’s USB port.

For more information on connecting to a telescope to perform an upgrade, please install and run MCupdate and click on the Help button.
