The integration process generally follows a standard workflow if they are Wi-Fi equipped.
To sync them with the SmartEye Wi-Fi network, the mounts will need to be configured in "Station Mode" (joining an existing network) rather than their default "Access Point" mode.
Astro-Physics AP1150
For the AP1150, I found a technical resource regarding the GTOCP6 Control System that outlines the network configuration:
GTOCP6 Control System Documentation (PDF)
If your mount uses the GTOCP4 or CP5, the interface should be similar.
Takahashi EM-400
The EM-400 often requires a serial-to-Wi-Fi adapterunless it has been retrofitted with a modern control system. If you are using an external adapter, that device's software will be the key to linking it to the SmartEye network.
Recommended Next Steps
- To ensure you have the correct configuration, I recommend reaching out to the manufacturers or checking your specific control box version:
- Astro-Physics: Confirm if you are using the CP4, CP5, or CP6 control box.
- Takahashi: Verify if you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged into the RS-232 port or if it is a native Wi-Fi model.
