When I bought my Losmandy GM-8 I had a grand plan of using it wirelessly:
1 x RS232 - Bluetooth - RS232 (for computer control)
1 x USB - Bluetooth - USB (for webcam - guidescope)
1 x Parallel - Bluetooth - Parallel (for ST7)
I wanted the RS232 and USB going to a Palm computer.
It seemed like it would all work fine with off the shelf stuff, but the problem I ended up with was that both ends of the conversion need power, they didn't have battery units available. So I'd end up with cables to supply power to both ends anyway. Or short cables going to small battery packs (that I'd make) at the very least.
And then I lost interest when I bought a house and so have no money anyway :-)
It'd be cool to see someone setup like this. I thought of doing the same just for my LX200 classic's hand controller, to make it wirless. Needless to say I never got anywhere with the idea.
