Telescope control system

Description

This is the sensor bank touchscreen and modems used to make it wireless. All this is done and dusted just need to finish up the focus part. The two little red boards with the leds are the bluetooth modems. Class 1 so the range is a full 100m. Tested them on the beach in Galveston last week in fact they go a bit farther but its an unobstructed site at the beach so I suspect with objects around it will be somewhat shorter. But still plenty for my uses. I have some wifi modules I've been playing with as well but the bluetooth modems are much more reliable.Of course the focus part makes the rest look trivial its much more complicated. 20 years ago you could go buy building materials and build a house now you can do the same thing only with hi tech electronics. Wish I was a little younger no telling what is going to come down the road in 20 more years.
