I have a spare Bluetooth Module for a Gemini 1 that I wish to give away to a deserving soul who would use it and report how it all goes.

This is the completion of a BT project that was started by Hiker Bob, see here (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showpost.php?p=727585&postcount=43).

The project is already up on the Gemini ASCOM forum and I built it so it can be run via the Gemini ASCOM, however it should work with planetarium programs...haven't tried it yet apart from Gemini ASCOM.

If you do not have BT on you Lappy or computer I can also give you a free BT dongle.

So...who wants one..freebie, nada, zip, zilch! Please someone who is going to use it not let it gather dust.

I'm interested Brendan. One laptop has BT, and I have a dongle for the other one, but I've never tried it on that box.

Done Andrew...just PM postal address and I'll send it.

I'll include an RJ11 cable but not a +12V cable (2.5mm centre +ve req'd).

If this is a problem I can make one up if you want, fly leads or something. The Module can run from +8V to +18V and more.

I haven't figured out a decent lanyard for the case so as to hang it from the Gemini index handles...I'll leave this up to you. I can run a cheap nasty Zip tie as a lanyard but I've gone cold on that atm.
