CdC uses ASCOM to talk to the ArgoNavis, but not in native AN
language. If you have not upgraded to the latest AN firmware then set
CdC's ASCOM driver and the serial port you use in the AN to "Sky
Commander" and 9600 baud. Remember that the AN will need to be
powered down before any changes take place. If you have a ServoCat
hooked to the AN then set the port on the AN to "ServoCat" and use
the Servocat driver in the ASCOM platform in CdC. That way GoTo's
will work from CdC. If you have the newest version of the AN firmware
then it will emulate a large list of telescope protocols so take your
pick but just make sure they Match between the AN and ASCOM.
Also make sure you use the "ArgoNavis" rs232 connector if your kit
came with other flavors of connectors.
