We have hooked the Hagisonic StarGazer up to the computer using a Serial cable to USB. We have also downloaded the software from the CD and can pull up the interface screen. However, the StarGazer does not seem to be receiving any data. Looking at the device manager, it seems that there are no drivers installed for the StarGazer. Is this a separate download? Should the StarGazer be receiving data with the StarGazerMonitor application?
You likely need to download the drivers for your specific USB to serial adapter cable. If it’s a model we sell, we can help you get the drivers.
sbwhite42,
Were you successful in hooking up your Stargazer with a Serial to USB cable? I tried that and never could get it to work. I had to use a Serial to Serial (9-pin to 9-pin) connecting cable. I would rather use the Serial to USB cable and would be interested in knowing if you were able to make that work. Was it just a matter of downloading the correct drivers for the Serial to USB cable?
Thanks,
Dexter
