Washinglee 507 Control Cable for Meade LX200 Series Telescope, USB Console Cable for Meade LX200 ACF and LX200R

hello i'm brian with mead instruments and we're going to show you how to update the firmware on your mead telescope this is one of the most common questions we get fortunately you should rarely have to update the firmware on your telescope but this information can be useful if for when you do need to make that update this can be done from home on a windows pc with a couple of connecting cables which i'll go over in a moment and a connection to the internet so let's get started to find out what firmware version you have power up the telescope and watch the boot up screen the firmware version is shown for the first few seconds during startup or you can simply go to the setup menu then statistics and scroll down to see the version number displayed getting started with the things you'll need are a windows pc with windows xp or newer connected to the internet the pc should have a usb 2 port
