Thought I would give Wifi Scope a go !

Connected the bluetooth adaptor to the SynScan Hand controller on the EQ8 done a 2 star alignment ( running version 3.36 ) put the hand controller into PcDirect mode fired up the laptop paired the Bluetooth with the laptop com 5 ( the laptop is connected to my home wifi ) .
Ran the EQMod toolbox changed the com port to 5 hit connect to check and connected ...hit Disconnect closed the EQmod toolbox of clicked on WIFISCOPE
Hit connect wifi scope and it fired up EQMOD and it had a IP address of 10.0.0.68.

I then fired up SkySafari 4 pro on the iPad went to settings and changed a few things.

1 . Scope type = Meade LX200 Classic

2 . Mount Type = Equatorial GOTO (German)

3 . Auto detect SkyFi set to OFF

4 . I set the ip Address to 10.0.0.68 ( may be different on other pc's )

5 . Port Number 4030

6 . Set time and location set to OFF

Hit done.
Hit connect on the iPad and Ding it connected.

I hit on a target and the scope moved to the Target so I selected another and it slewed to it as well.

However the direction keys did not work with this setup But I was able to use our iPad to slew to different Targets with the GoTo button ...! .
