UpDate Bluetooth Adaptors with Android Tablets
Hi all ,
Good news the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition turned up Today and after setting it up I purchased the SouthernStars Android version of SkySafari Pro set it up and connected to the Synscan Hand controller and now enjoying turning my telescope around with my Bluetooth Adaptor and SkySafari .
Setup instructions Below.
Hardware
=======
1. Turn on the RS232 Bluetooth Adaptor Made by us (it does not have to be connected to the RS232 port of the bottom of the SynScan Hand controller as yet)
1A ( in the New model plug it into the bottom of the hand controllers RS232 port and turn the mount on)
2. On the Android device (I use a samsung Galaxy note) open Setting and the select Bluetooth.
3. Click Search for Devices in the Bluetooth menu look for the BT module (It will have some name such as SynScan001 or some other name)
4. Click on the found device and enter 1234 when prompted for a pairing code. Your tablet should then connect to it.
5. Turn off the mount, if it is not already off. Connect the RS232 cable from the Bluetooth Adaptor to the bottom of the SynScan hand controllers RS232 port and turn the power on to the mount do your 2 star alignment
When it comes up with alignment successfull ... Next Stage !
