I'm having issues getting my computer to talk to my LX200-ACF. Meade said it uses the same ASCOM driver as the LX200-GPS which is what I have installed (and the latest ASCOM platform). Aside from a possible cable issue, I'm not sure what could be wrong. Does anybody have experience with using ASCOM drivers on the latest LX200-ACF scopes?

Thanks for the help!

If you have the ASCOM Platform 5.5 update installed, on the Chooser you'll see a Trace menu in the upper lect. It should be relatively clear how to use the options there. Help is available in the Windows Start Menu, ASCOM Platform, Docs, ASCOM Platform 5.5 Help, Tools and Features, Serial Tracing.

Turn on Serial tracing. Look at the resulting log to see if anything is coming from the scope.

I'll make an initial guess: a possible cable issue.

I have posted a separate question asking for clarification on the tracing options.
