DIY Meade 505 Telescope to PC Cable Most of our readers here will be surprised to learn that I am an avid amateur astronomer. I spend every chance I get under the stars taking in the amazing views that can be seen from my 10" Meade LXD-55 Schmidt Newtonian. With my background in photography, it should come as no surprise that I have shifted more into astrophotography than visual observing. My imaging sessions are usually conducted with two of my best friends at a private observatory owned by one of them . The observatory is nice but it is located about 35-40 minutes from me and thus I do not get out there as much as I would like to. So over the last couple of months I have been gearing up my scope for imaging. One of the first task I had to tackle was building a cable that would allow me to control my telescope from my PC, and that is what today's tutorial is all about.
There are several reasons one would want to control their telescope with a PC:
It is faster than using the hand controller.
It gives you a visual aid when searching for something hard to find.
If you find something unknown, the planetarium software will be able to identify it.
It is a necessity if you plan on imaging anything for longer than a single quick exposure.
It's wicked cool!

I had to download the generic CP2102 drivers for my windows 11 PC, then look in the Device Manager to see what COM ports it was assigned to. Mine was com3 & com4 . Told my interface software what port to look at and BAM! My 497 controller is updated.Good product, great value

Was looking for a cable to allow me to update my Meade Handbox Firmware. This allowed me to update from my Windows 11 system. TIP- install the driver update from the website listed in the product advertisement, after you plug the cable in

Funciona perfecto. Puedo conectar sin problemas mi montura Meade LX85 directamente al computador y sincronizarlo con Stellarium. Prácticamente no utilizo el audiostar.

I was able to download the SI labs driver on my old MacBook air and connect Stellarium with my Meade LXD75 thorugh audiostar handbox within few minutes. It transformed my telescope with an ancient handbox to a truely modern computer-controlled instrument.
