BlueTooth and WIFi for scope Mounts Now tested with synscan hand controllers Pictures

BlueTooth and WIFi for Different Telescope Mounts
Hi Have Been making Bluetooth now for the Australian market Skywatcher/Merlin, Orion/Teletrack,( Celestron/Nexstar Gt Series plugs into the bottom of the Nexstar hand controller. ) Also Celestron "ALLVIEW" Mount.
Then Starting on the EQ6 and EQ5 Bluetooth modules and different cables need by anyone on these forums.
Will Also be making WiFi modules within a few weeks as well.

Also the bluetooth will be in a small box. some mounts I can can get the power that is required to power up the Bluetooth and some will come with a external battery pack 4 AA . These Bluetooth boxes will come with a bit of Velcro to stick the small box on to the mount....... so it will not catch on anything as the mount moves so it will not get caught up around the legs of the tripod.

Also make Terand Adaptors for to go between the Dynamic Perception mx2 Controller to Skywatcher/Merlin style Mount also the stop switches which a few people that are members of iceinspace use on there Stage Zero Dolly's .
some of these Bluetooth boxes can be used with papywizard the program , as well as a lot of astronomy programs to remotely turn the scope .
I am asking a Fair price for these Bt Boxes and have had these boards Manufactured in the USA from a good friend and look good sourcing good boxes does put the price up so to keep the price down they will be in a blue Jaycar box.
Can you Please leave comments about what you need and also the fair price you will be willing to pay for A Bluetooth box or a WifI Box to control your scope mount.
You Can see the prototype Terand Adaptor on YOUTUBE.
