How To Connect SkySafari 6 Pro To An iOptron Alt/Az Pro Mount With Hand Controller 8407+? (Answer: Read On!)

As I already read there are problems with this constellation. But I got lost in all these mails. My firmware is Handcontroller V2 170322 and Mainboard 170410.

Any advices would bevery appreciated.

Greetings from the Rhineland

    Wilhelm,

    I don't have the new AltAz Pro mount with the 8407+ HC, but I do have an iEQ45-Pro with the 8407+ HC, and I have a MT, MT2 and MTP mounts all with 8401 HC's.  And they all work with SkySafari-6 Pro Android.  I connect to my iEQ45-Pro mount using a SkyBT Bluetooth serial to Bluetooth adapter -- and I connect to my MT mounts using the SkyFi-III (because it has a USB connection) using WiFi.  So SkySafari-6 Pro does successfully connect to and control various iOptron mounts.

    Make sure you have the proper mount selected in SkySafari:  "iOptron CEM/iEQ Pro/AZ Mount Pro."

    Make sure you have "Connect via WiFi" selected under Communications Settings.

    After than I'm not sure because I think the AZ Mount Pro has its own built-in WiFi and I don't know how that works.

    Hopefully the SkySafari guys can give you more detailed assistance.

    Thank you very much, Woody, for your assistance!  We need iOptron users to help one another in the community forums.  I'm moving this post to the SkySafari | iOptron forum.
