Product description

Important information regarding the function and warranty of circuit boards

Installation by our specialist workshop:

We can only guarantee the proper functioning of a replacement part if it is installed by our specialist workshop. In many cases, a fault cannot be traced back to a single component – other components may already have been affected. If the replacement part is installed in a system with other defects, there is a risk that it will be damaged again.

If you decide to install the part yourself, please understand that we can only offer spare parts without warranty and without the right of return.

We will be happy to install and test replacement parts for you professionally. Simply write to us at [email protected]

Must-have upgrade old EQ-6 Pro with DB9 connector

Review by DzmitryK on 08.03.2025 10:54:06

( 5 / 5 )

This motherboard is an upgrade from Sky-Watcher that includes a USB connector and a Generation 3 motor controller for upgrading older EQ-6 mounts with a DB9 connector, currently equipped with Generation 1 (with version 1.xx firmware) or Generation 2 (with version 2.xx firmware) motor controllers.
This new board allows the mount to be controlled with the latest software, which is incompatible with the old motherboard, enabling new features such as continuous satellite tracking. The old keypad does not work with the new motherboard but can also be upgraded.
