USB2EQ6 and USB2EQ5 from Shoestring Astronomy

[shahgazer]

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera

Got this email this morning. An interesting option for EQ5 and EQ6 owners..

Shoestring Astronomy is pleased to announce two new products that allow you to connect your computer to your mount for use with EQMOD software. We now have the USB2EQ6 (US$39) to go directly from a USB port to your EQ6 mount and the USB2EQ5 (US$39) to go directly from a USB port to your EQ5 mount. These cables are based upon FTDI USB-to-serial converter chips, thus they still appear as virtual COM ports when you configure them for EQMOD. They provide a sleek, cost-effective, direct cable solution ready-to-go straight out of the box. There is no longer the need for the EQDIR module, USB-to-serial converters, and converter cables.

Usually wireless devices ni ada several channel we can use. For example, setting the iphone as a wifi hotspot, the settings dalam apps MyWi tu ada list up to 11 channels. So it is common and shouldn't pose a big problem..

unless tiba-tiba banyak pulak scope guna wireless!!

kalau ramai guna Voyager  boleh guna Starmap pro  

wonder how much it cost the application software and for non mac user  Using a Wifi/serial bridge(creates and adhoc wifi when there is no wifi) 

dengar2 android phone ada free software untuk tujuan sama

cheers
