Well, I tried most of Saturday evening, and I could not get the Bluetooth module to work.
It definitely synchronises with the tablet, but it either isn't getting the signal to the LX200, or it isn't sending the response back from the LX200.
Either way, SkySafari just puts up the same error message, saying that, while it can establish a connection with the scope, it isn't getting anything back (it also says this without the scope being connected, only the BT module).
Without any real options to tweak things on the module, or the software, it looks like it is a dead end. Pity, it would have been a nice, cheap solution.
I guess I will have to look forward, and check out SkyFi. My tab has root, so adhoc wifi is doable.
