Hi Peter,
for around 18 months I've been working on a small general bluetooth switch for astronomy to control devices like fans, dew heater or Flat panel dimming, really anything that runs on 5V-18V up to 4A as either switched or PWM. It uses bluetooth to communicate with a PC so there are no extra cabling you just plug it in series with the flat panel. Really simple.
I've written 2 ASCOM drivers, one for Switches and the other for Flat Panel control, the same device does both.
The ASCOM flat panel driver can be used to control the on/off - brightness of a LED or EL flat panel by applications like NINAs Flat Wizard or SG Pro to automate flat imaging.
I've been using it now for around 6 months with a LED panel I made, I'm happy with the results.
To get the PCB manufactured I had to order 30, so I was hoping to maybe sell them on IIS.
Your light boxes have been popular and I would really like to test my bluetooth switch with one. I would be happy to send you a bluetooth switch if you're able to test it and let me know. PM me if you need more information.
Thanks,
Chris.
