Has anyone controlled their HEM27 or 44 with the Rear USB port on the mount?

So far, I can only connect via the USB port on the hand controller. Is this normal? Is that port really just a pass through?

Hi HEM-Friend,

yes, thats normal. I use it too.
The USB Plug at the Main-body is the USB Output from the DE-Sattle.
I use this internal Cable to connect the HEM to AsiAir.

I use this cable to connect to the Asiair to the DE-Sattle: https://www.amazon.de/LIOUR-Kabel【1m】-Verbindungskabel-vergoldeter-Festplattengehäusen/dp/B0B9GX8VCY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=USB%2Ba%2BUSB%2Ba%2BKabel&qid=1698922386&sr=8-3&th=1

And from Hand-Controller to the Rear Plug I use this Cable:https://www.rm-computertechnik.de/UK41/Kabel_-_USB/USB-20-Kabel-BB/USB_BB.html
This Cable I routed throug the Spiral Cabel to the Handcontroller, so I have only one Cable. This works perfect.

Hand controller port works well for me for scope control.  Wifi can also be used.
