Meade 505 Telescope To PC Cable CP2102 USB RS232 To 4P4C RJ10 Adapter Control Console Cable For Mead 505 Telescope (10FT Review

I read this as a standalone project that will require you to assemble the connector. Mine came complete which was a pleasant surprise. I use it to connect the Meade LX65 to a ZWO ASIair Pro (Raspberry Pi based) astrophotography computer. So it connects from the Pi to the RS232 port on the AutoStar box. SkySafari is also connected. So if the cable works, the computer, iPad (SkySafari) and ASIair will work at the same time. Very good.

I bought two cables, one for my iOptron ZEQ25GT mount and one for my classic Meade LX200 mount. Both worked great right out of the box and never caused any problems. I use these cables to control these mounts from Windows and Linux. No custom/dedicated drivers required. I haven't found any other straight USB to RS232 RJ9/12 cables that work with these brackets. You usually have to buy the official RS232 cables from Meade or iOptron and separately buy a USB to RS232 DB9 adapter which is more…

Works. I've only tested him in my living room, but when he works here he has to work outside on a dewy night. The usual mount, which involves connecting the included cable via a USB-to-RS-232 adapter, feels clunky and archaic, and seems like a potential source of error when you're lying on the grass waiting to be stepped on or getting wet with dew . Or coffee. This new cable looks as good as any, is longer than I can imagine and works. Also, I now have a backup. . .Always good when you are away
