Telescope Control Case
The main Idea of the project is to hide and protect all wires, adapters mini-pc, etc in one partially waterproof case. Leave only 2 cables going to setup - 12V and USB3, then lightweight hub on the mount and cable-managed wiring to.
Second idea was to implement easy switch between 12V and 220V external power for everything.
LCD Screens and keyboard is not main interaction way, but more like backup. Main way is to connect laptop via Remote Desktop either by ethernet cable, or by local router's Wi-fi or by internet-less hardware hotspot.
The device was designed for both backyard and field observation sessions with unforeseen conditions. Can also be left on remote place as switch/control box of remotely operated telescope.
