Skywatcher Heritage Virtuoso controlled via bluetooth
gorke replied to jpgr's topic in Discussions - Mounts
ummm, you´re using Android and APP Virtuoso with Bluetooth module, like HC-06. And you are trying the CP2303HX with laptop. it´s like this?? Both without HC... Pinout from Rj11 are the same (BT needs Vcc 5V). With PC it´s necesary DriverAzGoto and Ascom Plataform to use Cartes du Ciel and Scope if you are goint to use stellarium. Check the cable (only 3 wires are needed) and Port number. Restart Windows, or even better, off and let a couple of minutes pass Get luck!! -

Ok, no communication... What pin out on RJ11 are you used??? I used GND, TX, NC, Rx. So you only are going to need 3 cables. In PL2303HX GND to GND, Rx to TX and TX to RX Install PL2303_Prolific_Driver, in control panel from Windows note port it´s using... What Windows version are you using?? Ascom, Driver Virtuoso...??? Try to install StellariumScope Bundle. It will going to install Stellarium Scope, stellarium, Ascom 6 and Drivers FTDI for usb serial https://sourceforge.net/projects/synscanstellari/ I first install PL2303HX driver and then these pack. and all work!! I have recorded a video to show you how I do it... -

Friend!!! I have given a clarification. I used PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.8.19 -

I just read it, it says it in the last line Notice: For Stellarium it's you need to install Stellarium Scope and run Stellarium using Stellarium Scope shortcut. http://teleskopy.pl/product_info.php?currency=EUR&products_id=3376&language=en&lunety=Przewód_kabel_USB_do_SkyWatcher_Virtuoso,_d³ugo¶æ_2_metry -

I finally got it !!! With CP2303 direct to mount and Cartes du Ciel...Not worked with stellarium. I suppose that with Stellarium I´ll need scope. Through the HC Synscan it´s not neccesary scope, only stellarium Only one question, level voltage virtuoso mount are 3,29 volt (Rx and Tx) But HC Synscan are 0 and -8V To use HC it´s necesary a USB-232 adapter (non TTL levels) I can´t understand why it´s necessary the resistor with HC-06 Bluetouth module With CP2102 I don´t get any satisfactory results -

Hello I am doing it!! You only need 4p in RJ11 and a USB/TTL module, CP2102 or PL2303hx (I read that the CP2102 was better, I have CP2101 and waiting PL2303HX...). I think you neet to use a voltage divide too like Bluetooth module. More important is driver for your windows ;-) http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx And for PL2303hx looking for "PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.8.19", I read that with v1.9 DON´T WORK I made the cable with CP2102 direct to RJ11 and don´t work!!! In this page, send the cable and says work at 3,3V http://teleskopy.pl/product_info.php?currency=EUR&products_id=3376&language=en&lunety=Przewód_kabel_USB_do_SkyWatcher_Virtuoso,_d³ugo¶æ_2_metry P.D. If you are going to put a couple or resistor,I think that 4,7K and 10K is better.... My GoTo mount, with the mount BT, was broken. I used 47 ohm and 100 ohm and work a few minutes, but then... When I get the whole summary working -

Of course, I am testing everything and I will put everything in a small box. -

Finally works !!!! The module works at 5V, but the connection must be made with TTL values of 3.3V. A voltage divider, like schematics, it´s necesary and all correct. I had used 4,7K and 10K that I had at home. Many thanks to everyone and especially to @RTamerand @Tonyjl -

Yes, I have Virtuoso App installed in my Android tablet. I selected bluetooth HC-06 module, the led stops blinking but APP ware blocked, same behavior as CP2101 USB-TTL or MAX232. I´m going later to probe open stellariumscope (with handpad not is necesary) as video I´ve seen Thank for all -

With Bluetooth module does not work either... So, the mount is fine. Yesterday I could try on another mount and pin Tx and RX is short too. I probed its SynScanTM AZ hand controller, making a new cable to connect PC to hand controller, and stellarium worked with both mounts, without stellariumscope, directly with stellarium 0.11.4 configuration I´d saw this video I´ll probe. There are several differences. First use stellariumscope, second choose JNOW in stellariumscope and no close it. In stellarium choose external softwaere.... I hope work -

Hello, I think I know where the problem is ... When I connect the cable to the Virtuoso, pins 3 and 5 (signal, Tx and Rx) are shorted!! It´s no good... Just when I´d had recived bluetooth module, agggggg -

Well, I´d recived my CP2102 module but there isn´t comunicaction... It´s really need stellariumscope?? I probed with Cartes du Ciel, more easy, and neither. My netbook is a Atom proccesor so I´d had to install ver. 0.12 ATOM stellarium, I hope stellariumscope work !! -

Yes, I know only need the regulator and the bluetooth module, It´s only a probe to connect my serial PC to Virtuoso until arrives the modules. And seeing the connections of the scheme and the photo of the Rj11 doubts arose. Now, thanks to you, I know the photos are correct, but the drawing confused me. I hope I did not damage the mount. Do you remember the voltages of Tx and Rx in virtuoso? Maybe I need to check it with an oscilloscope -

I supply Max232 with a external 5V power (pin16 Vcc, PIN15 GND). PIN15, PIN14 y pin13 a DB9 Cable RJ11 (4P6C) from Virtuoso like your schematic (GND, Tx, Rx y 12V) and connect: Virtuoso ----------------- Max232 ------------------ DB9 ----------------- Serial Personal Computer with RS-232 pin16 ------------ 5 V external power GND (C2) --------------> pin15 --------------> pin 5 pin14 --------------> pin2 (Rx PC) pin13 <-------------- pin3 (Tx PC) Rx (C5) <-------------- pin12 Tx (C3) --------------> pin11 Of course C1,C2,C3 and C4 like datasheet When it works, I´ll supply with LM7805 through pin16 from Virtuoso C4 (11,8V) -

Thank @RTamer, Very good explication... I´m waiting for the arrival of my HC-06 and LM2596 modules. I´d probed with Cartes du Ciel and cable with Max232 to DB9 serial PC, but it was failure When arrive my modules I probe you schematic, thank again
