Raspberry Pi (Astroberry) connected to bottom of Nexstar hand controller (non-usb) via an RS232-to-USB cable.
Load celestron_aux driver (0.7) and get the following errors attempting to connect:

It seems like the connection was established after all. But I guess it does not work?
Any further info about the communication we can use to debug this?
Logs will be useful.
