Skysafari Plus control of iOptron Smartstar G
I have an iOptron Smartstar G cube mount that is GotoNova controlled. I am trying to find out what I need to drive this mount via Android Skysafari Plus scope control. My mount handset controller has a USB connection. The iOptron website says I need a ASCOM dirver to drive the mount via Windows but nothing about Skysafari Plus on Android. The Skysafari website (support area) says they do support iOptron but require a RS232 to USB interface to do so.
My current Skysafari Plus setup is running on a Nexus 7 tablet and intrefaces to my 16" dob via Astro Devices Nexus wifi box for full Pushto control. The Astro Devices Nexus has a USB connection, and various other RJ45 ports to drive other systems like Servo Cat (which appears to be RS232 driven via the RJ45 connection). I don't want to disturb the Dob system configuration but I would like to be able to utilise Skysafari Plus on the tablet to also control the iOptron mount.
Anyone doing that? Or have suggestions?
