Hi Bob.

All set up but no workie at this stage. Led flashing on receiver module so it has pwr good...unless the led is supposed to be constant on?

Feeding +5V from a separate PSU. I didn't tie the earth from this PSU to the RS232 port in earth. I don't think this should matter.

I have 2 COM ports popped up with the bluetooth device. I mapped them to:
Incoming COM11;
Outgoing COM12.

I'm guessing the outgoing is the one I connect to in The ASCOM driver (assign as my COM port connection). Tried both in any case, no go.

Funny thing when I go to select the COM port in the ASCOM driver it has re-assigned the ports as 11c and 12c? Why I do not know and they will not connect. If I set the port to 11 or 12 9not 11c or 12c) I get port invalid.

I'll fiddle some more and get back.
