I would like to know if anyone have a solution to be able to connect the FS2 to the Asiair.
I actually own a Trassud DF45 mount with FS2 which I am very happy with and which I want to keep given the quality of the mechanics of the assembly.
Unfortunately, the FS2 is not really recognized by the mount.
In the drop-down menu of the different mounts, “Astro Electronics FS2” is offered. I then put a cable on the RS232 port of the FS2 and plug it into USB at the other end on the AsiAir.
The mount connects, but it doesn't hold. Additionally, I absolutely cannot fly the mount with the AsiAir.
Do you have a technical solution to offer me because it would really help me?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Sorry for my poor English.

    Do you mean it will disconnect after connection? or it won't connect at all?
    Can you please take a picture of the port on the FS2 and how did you connect it? thanks.

      Good morning.

      First of all, thank you very much for your response.
      Sure enough, the FS2 disconnects immediately after connecting. In addition, when I am actually connected, the AsiAir does not control the mount. If I'm in "preview" mode and I want to move the mount with the arrows, nothing happens.
      As for the connection, I have a cable that I plug into USB on the AsiAir and which has a male RS232 port on the FS2 side.
      As you requested, I am attaching a diagram representing the RS 232 port of the FS2.

      Thank you again for your help.

        Gaillard Did you connect it to PC to test if it works fine? which can rule out the problem with the cables.
        If it works fine on PC, please reproduce the problem and submit the in the ASIAIR app(About -> bug report), thank you.
