Bug Description
Hello,
I have built a new Open Source Telescope control system based on Arduino Due. The name of the project is rDUINOScope and more information can be found on the project website: http://
The rDUINOScope is capable of receiving commands via Bluetooth - SlewTo, Status and others.
I'm now looking for a way to connect it to Stellarium and found your Plug-In which can handle Bluetooth communication.
I'd like to know the communication protocol of the Plug-In in order to implement it in rDUINOScope, or it could be that I send you my protocol and you include it in your plugin.
Please let me know :)
Best Regards,
Dessislav Gouzgounov

Thanks for your interest. Actually the best way would be if you download Stellarium sources (http:// stellarium. org/wiki/ index.php/ Bzr_checkout), make necessary changes to the telescope plugin so that it works with your creation while still working with all other devices, and submit a branch/merge proposal. We cannot test anything without the proper hardware. (Also for other requesters: please fix things for your new telescopes, and send patches to help others -- we just don't have your mounts and cannot help!)
I was not even aware that our plugin would directly communicate over Bluetooth, maybe you must use the connecting piece of software called StellariumScope? In this case, make your rDUINOscope work with StellariumScope, this does not involve Stellarium sources, but we cannot give any advice about the protocol. You may have to implement ASCOM for your device. You can write a short subsection for the user guide (section 14.4) if it works.
