Description Once you start using EQMOD and the Lynx EQDIR cable, you will never go back. New FTDI EQDIR USB Adapter for Meade Audiostar, ETX-90, ETX-125, LXD75, LX80, LX90 This convenient FTDI EQDIR adapter allows direct connection of the Meade Audiostar, ETX-90, ETX-125, LXD75, LX80, LX90 to your laptop or PC. It uses a 9 Pin type connection (NOT an RJ12/RJ45!) The FTDI 232R chipset works reliably across all versions of Windows and, because each cable has a unique chipset ID, each time you unplug the adapter then plug it back into the same computer, even if on a different physical USB port, the COM port number remains the same. Every cable is checked before dispatch. This is a 1.8m cable. Compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8 & 10, Linux, Mac OSX 10.3 and above. Windows users, the EQDIR adapter should install automatically but should you require drivers they can be downloaded here. The EQMOD project consists of a suite of open source applications that bypasses the hand-controller and communicates directly with the mount’s stepper motor controller.
