I am unable to get SGP to connect to PHD2 even when I am just running simulators for everything; and of course when I am using real equipment. What am I doing wrong? Here are a few excerpts from the PHD2 log and from the SGP log.
PHD2 log says only this (btw it did start up after receiving some input from SGP):
"PHD2 version 2.6.8 [Windows], Log version 2.5. Log enabled at 2020-06-16 11:36:39 "
- which is left over from me trying to debug things this morning; it is now roughly 14:55 EDT. In other words, even tho it started up, it didn’t record anything new.
SGP log says this, among other things:

That last part repeats itself over and over, and then it says this:
