I've just tried 2 different BT dongles and in each case windows goes off and searches the web for the current drivers - so I'm assuming it knows what it wants/needs. But each dongle (3 different ones now) all produce more or less the same results - I ran the ASCCOM diagnostic and interestingly, the first time round it popped up a list of Com ports that were 'normal' but then hung when I tried to connect to the scope.
Then, each successive time, we were back to that silly format of Com3o or Como3 or even Com3CHINESECHARACTER
If it's drivers, it's across all brands.
I note that I'm using the new ASCOM6.
ANyone know of any issues with BT and ASCOM6?
