Hi folks,
I've just got a StellarMate and am trying to control my Skywatcher mount with it. I'm following the instructions from here
which is using the exact same bluetooth module and mount with the same software. It's not working.
Before starting I went through the setup of the mount using the hand controller (date/time/timezone/latitutude/longitude etc etc) and then did a two star alignment. I then unplugged the hand controller and put the BT adapter into the HC port on the mount. I was then able to connect to it from the StellarMate and pair with the bluetooth adapter. The devices gui shows its connected and even transmitting data as well and I then mapped in through to a serial port, the default of
/dev/rfcomm0. Everything I thought I would have problems with, I didn't (recognising the BT adapter, pairing, com port mapping).
The screen shots attached are:
- From VNC on the stellarmate showing the bluetooth adapter connected, paired and sending/receiving data
- from EKOS running on my Mac trying to connect to the correct device, but failing for some reason
- profile settings in EKOS showing its using SynScan for the mount type
Does the SynScan HC need to be put into PC pass through or something before disconnecting it from the mount and putting the BT adapter in????
Can anyone help with why this isn't working?
Thanks in advance, Craig
