Connect and control your EQ6 mount (telescope mount) wirelessly with PCs and Mobile phones via Bluetooth.

The EQMOD project consists of a suite of open source applications that can provide an alternative to the hand controller on supported German Equatorial Mounts. The circuit in this projects allows you to connect EQ6 telescope mounts to your PC or Mobile phone.

 

This circuit features bi-directional 5/3.3V converters and allows most HC-05 Blutooth modules in the market which are 3.3V-only to be used.

 

Please get in touch with me if you need the circuit modifified to suit other mounts apart from the EQ6
