Electronics - Atas EQ-G - connection is lost when guiding program begins calibration. Tracking and mount control lock up requiring restart of mount. Thanks
Have you upgraded the motor control firmware and the hand controller firmware to the latest version? If not see this web site which contains instructions for updating the firmware.
This could also be caused by a USB-Serial adapter cable. Try another brand. The one sold by www.scopestuff.com works --- along with a Keyspan brand Serial-USB adapter.
