After loading the apps... The phone one, is kind of cool ...and I'll take advantage of it when I can.
But Chad can't operate the phone , he needs the computer.
.
He's the computer guy... he's not here to fix this.
I spent the day trying to get the PC to pick up the wifi signal...
I put in the proper SSID number... along with the password.
.
Hmmm,
Called B&H tech guys.... NOPE... it won't Wifi to a PC...(sez tech)
I thought I was going to need a lot of USB line.
.
WTF... I know I saw it SOMEWHERE... it's been part of this mission...
Sometimes... researching stuff can get a little info crossed....
.
So, I'm going over it again... reload the program... Switch the switch on the wifi ( Two Settings )
.
This was the third time loading it... and I think I got some kind of failure about some part of it... oh well...
.
But a new little pop-up appeared, it let me chose something... But I couldn't find the "ready" button it said to push...
My lower task bar would not "Hide"... so it was blocking it.. Finally I grabbed the window and moved it up... there was the button hiding.
.
The telescope MOVED.... PC/WiFi.... All of the functions were working. ( And more if I add them later )
.
Before I brought the mount inside,... I re mapped the sky. ( because I had hit default settings to clear the first maps )
Inside the hobby room, the mount is set-up as if observing...
I can see it obeys the PC...( Or the Phone )
And watching it move across the sky on the Screen Map is cool....
Choosing a place is a "tap or click" away.... Johnny 5 finds it and tracks it. This Dog can Hunt.
.
How you get them Both to work.... One at a time.
.
The switch on the Wifi..... "UP" for the Phone.... "Down" for the PC (Laptop)
The rest of it is Loading the Apps ( Celestron ) ... One for the Phone.... One for the PC
.
Later, I'm supposed to be able to tie into
That will be when the
.
.
Oh yea , my first attempt to REPEAT what I did, failed... crap , was it a dream ?
After more practice , I have been operating either one now.
The phone
It's not in front of you , you have to scroll the symbols to the left until you see the little telescope.
.
Of course this morning... Rain ... clouds...
That's just a sign that I'm on the right path...
.
Next testing will be "Range"... PC-WiFi-Mount
I'd like to leave the PC in the hobby room...
The closest it could be outside is about 20 ft.... better is 40 ft
Prime would be about 150 ft
The spot at 40 ft is the one I'll be using for now. ( Even if I have to move the Laptop "closer" )
.
Gotta Fly...
