Testing using:
SNPP7 7.0.0.92 for OS X.
OSX v10.9.2
Communication to mount via Bluetooth (built in bluetooth on Mac communicating to Roving Networks RN-270M on the scope side)
Mount is a Meade LX-80 using Meade Audiostar controller.
Testing with the Meade Audiostar on an LX-80 mount I found several issues.
Upon connecting to the scope (which worked), I noticed that
1) The scope does connect... although the RA/Dec and Alt/Az values in the status section all read "N/A".
I select M45 and told SNPP7 to send the scope to that object... this worked. Although...
2) I attempted to test the "nudge" features in manual control and found that even setting a generous nudge amount (I set it to 10º knowing that if I set it to a small value in arc-minutes, etc. that I might not notice the movement). The manual control nudges would not work regardless of what I did.
3) I manually entered an RA/Dec position into SNPP7 to center the screen. In my case I picked M31 (but entered it via the "View" -> "Center on..." menu to simulate what happens when we identify a new object which is not in a known catalog (e.g. a nova discovery, etc.) On screen (not ordering the scope to move yet), SNPP7 centered the object. BUT... when I told the scope to slew to screen center... nothing.
4) I then noticed that I couldn't send the scope to anything at all even though I could see the lights on my serial port indicating activity.
I disconnected and reconnected SNPP to the telescope. I picked an object and told it to center... which worked again. I re-tested the nudges... nothing. I also re-tested the "center scope on screen center" and also got no response.
