Guest Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hi Im using EQmod at moment There is a large discussion on the EQmod site about tablet control of the mount but so far with them using android Its that they can use it via a VNC type program where you actually control anther pc which is controlling the mount in the first place. I also use a small Dell X30 PDA and Astromist which is a free program Like a very small stellerium) and im playing with the BT connection at the moment But this is in Windows CE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryndalf Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 ahh, I have RDP software on the pad that could control a laptop. There is a wifi device that lets you use an iPad as a controller but its £150, Ive got the software (Sky Safari) and thats very good using the motion control to identify everything. maybe Santas watching this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Look for something called VNC i would think they do it for the android as they do it for apple Linux and windows plus windows CE. it enables control across the different platforms so say a Linux m/c with VNC s/w once connected to a windows laptop. What comes up on the Linux screen is the windows screen so you are then using windows if you get what I mean. because you are controlling the secondary m/c so there using that m/c's platform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
