I don't mine 'getting my hands dirty', can wield a soldering iron, have a pretty good 'parts bin' and have nothing to lose by poking around inside the handset so I'm open to ideas. Unfortunately (after buying the setup) I'm not in a position to buy a replacement handset (and won't be for some time :/ )

StarPatch allows you to use almost any GPS receiver with the Meade Autostar 497/497EP or Audiostar handsets (see telescope models).StarPatch updates the internal handset software so that it can recognize GPS NMEA data and use. Has anyone else had this issue and successfully managed to overcome it? Meade Autostar Computer Controller: Operating Instruction. I have googled this until my fingers hurt and it seems to happen now and again.unfortunately without a definitive fix. The only buttons which would work then were the up/down/left/right ones. Do not use this with the LX200 Classic or the Autostar I (495/497) controllers.

This driver provides both telescope and focuser interfaces each of which may be used by separate programs. btw, the regular controller works, but sometimes it acts funny.Like when i hit the right button quickly. When it asked for the 'Daylight Savings' settings, although it let me change from Y to N, it froze after pressing enter. &0183 &32 Meade LX200GPS and LX200R (combined telescope/focuser, 5.0.0, Jan 2008) Installs a driver for the Meade LX200GPS and LX200R telescope mounts. &0183 &32 Meade Autostar causing 'Motor Unit Falure' for ETX/90c. The next evening I switched it back on, the handset did the usual 'Initialising.', bleeped, warned me about looking at the sun (and let me press the button to say I'read it) and prompted for the date which I duly entered, along with the time. I then used it briefly one night - did a 2 star alignment just to make sure the goto was working okay.Д®verything appeared to be fine so I 'parked' the scope, switched the mount off and brought it inside. It seems to be the same issue as leaca posted about (4 years ago) here : ДЄs soon as it arrived I powered it up and had a 'quick play' with it, making sure the motors worked etc.

as long as yours is the GPS model, and not the classic.As the title says, I'm having a problem with my #494 controller (on a DS2000 series mount), bought 2nd hand from eBay a couple of weeks ago. Thanks in advance for any insights or experience. Wouldn't a normal manufacturer, making a radical change, call it Autostar III? Telescope Service tell me that an identical looking Autostar II handset which they can supply will only be compatible with an LX200 ACF.Дoes anyone know whether there really are compatible and non-compatible Autostar II handsets? This strikes me as pretty bizarre. It has always had the 'Autostar II' handset from new.

My scope is not an ACF but nor is it the original kind of LX200 with the substantial square-ish handset.

I just need toВ buy a replacement but - it seems not to be as simple as that. The handset of my 14 inch LX200 GPS has packed up after threatening to do so for a while.
