Hi there,


I'm a little confused about this.


I'm wanting to make my Gemini II mount communicate with my computer via Wifi while I'm toasty and warm inside. Partly to keep my girlfriend happy, and partly because I feel better not leaving my laptop outside unattended in dewy conditions all night.


Anyway, I actually have one of those ASIair things from a while back. It came with some other gear. I never used it much because it had to use *their software and run it on a phone or tablet, so I lose access to the larger screen and the software I normally use along with the deeper functionality and diagnostics it provides. Plus, I just don't like tablets.



I know about team viewer, but that only allows you to virtually control a remote computer - you're still leaving a computer on your scope all night, which is still doing the majority of the grunt work. I don't want to buy another hefty machine when my laptop is already more than capable.



What I want is something that will just pass the signals from the mount, cameras, and focuser on to my remote computer - kind of like a router, and there *is a page for doing just that on the Losmandy site. But, how do you get the the all-important USB signals from the camera to be based on by the router? Especially if you're doing planetary with high data rates.



I know this ASIair thing is basically just an RPi travel router. Can I just reprogram this thing to do what I want?



Many thanks for reading - I'm a bit lost. I figure some of you legends will know the answer.



Cheers
