Wireless connection to Celestron GT Mount problem.

[Chris M48]

I have a Celestron Advanced GT Mount which is controlled using a laptop via handset.

I want to do this wirelessly via Bluetooth with my RS232 serial adapter.

The adapter has been successfully paired with my laptop and 2  virtual COM ports are assigned and showing as linked with Bluetooth for sending and receiving data.
l’m not sure which COM port to select for overall control. I expected  COM port dev8 to be available but no such thing.

Can anyone please help with this?

Thank you.

Thanks Peter,

It shows me that I’m on the right path but just a bit further to go.

Wish me luck!

success! Choice of 2 COM ports and I picked the wrong one.

Changed it over and works a treat.

thanks again.

Chris
