After reading this thread https://www.cloudyni.../#entry14032710

 

I got all the necessary wires, etc but can't seem to get Stellarium Plus on an Android phone to connect to a Nexstar + Hand Controller/Nexstar SLT Mount. Maybe I need to update the HC? Also, I had to add a USB to DB9 Serial RS232 Adapter Cable to the chain, as my HC's don't have USB.

Anyone have any idea what this means?

Not an SLT, but still through the handset serial interface: I connect my AVX through CPWI (Make sure to check the port number in device manager), then connect the ASCOM device hub to the CPWI scope. Stellarium can then access the ASCOM device hub scope and it's also simultaneously available in NINA by virtue of the device hub.

Sorry, trying to avoid Ascom, (No idea what it is) just trying to do it the simple way as in that thread.

 

Using an OTG compatible regular Android phone.

I changed the baud rate to 9600 from 11200 or 11600 which was the default in the app suggested within post #27 on that thread and it worked. 

 

Never give up lol.
