BlueTooth and WIFi for scope Mounts

[axle01]

I just ordered one of these Bluetooth controllers off "coldnights" http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=108338
and have a question.
The controller plugs into the hand controller, what if I have a GPS unit plugged into the second port, how do I use both.

Hi Alan,
Once you have got the GPS Coordinates in the hand controller disconnect the Gps unit and put the Bluetooth in and connect to the laptop .

Or if you have a gps unit that plugs into your Laptop all is ok !

You can not put the 2 into the hand controller at the same time.

As Cathy says, you can unplug the GPS once you have a time and location fix - or just enter your location and time manually, which is what I do with my SLT mount. (It remembers my location anyway, so all I have to do is enter the time and date at the start of each session.) My mount has a second AUX socket on the mount itself, which you could possibly attach the GPS unit to, if unplugging and replugging is too awkward?

Hi Julian,
Alan has a Skywatcher mount so no Aux port so once he has the gps settings disconnect the Gps and Attach the Bluetooth unit.

Just received my new Bluetooth thingy, very well packed and 7 days delivery to Townsville, not bad for Aust Post.

Now to install it.

Thanks Cathy.
