Re: AVX Lights up but doesn't boot or respond
When you have the mount plugged into the computer did you have to load drivers for the cable?
If so did you load the drivers for the cable or let your computer choose them? This can be a issue at times, one of the other rarer now issues is try with your anti-virus shut off while
trying to update.
You are making progress at least, hopefully it will be working soon.

I know what you mean about driver and cable issues especially with older stuff and serial converters. What I forgot to mention is that whether it's theLady Fraktor wrote: ↑Thu Jun 09, 2022 8:18 pm Your first image was just garbled text when I first saw it, I can see the image now.

A thought.... And I could be completely wrong here... But don't most of the softwares including
Canon T1i stock
Various modified or 3d printed DIY enhancements or tweaks
Does a kids sunglass lens count as a fancy filter? Cause I have lots of those

At this point, if you have not done it is start right at point one with only the minimum equipment to try upload.
If it still does not work, look at Micheal Swanson site for some tips: https://nexstarsite.com if that still does not help, I would try to contact him by email.
He is normally very helpful and was a beta tester for these mounts for years.
I must admit I am scratching my head with this one.

I understand that the serial port is "real" PC RS-232 (not quite the original RS-232, but PC-version of it: +/- 12V max).
The AUX-port is probably TTL-level RS-232 (3.3V cable might work, if you leave the +V disconnected).
The communication protocol might be NexStar protocol.

Maybe you could use that to check if the communication works in the first place.
Also, the CPWI might be worth digging deeper?
