Good morning.
I just made a montage with LILYGO® TTGO T-Motor ESP32 and works perfect!. It's wonderful how good it looks!
95% of the time I have the equipment at home, so the focuser connects to the home network and I have no problem (minipc and focuser are connected to the same network.
The problem is when I go to the countryside, I no longer have internet. I have tried to connect it to the hotspot network generated by the minipc, but it does not connect... I know that the focuser can generate its network, but I would have to change the firmware again to activate this.
I think this would be solved by enabling bluetooth. Would it be possible?
On the other hand, I have a rotator with myrtotator mounted. It would be possible to use this plate for the rotator (thus eliminating another cable).
Thank you Robert for your work.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Using your miniPC accès point should work (I Do it for my own
configuration).
It is a mater of configuration, I guess.
Check that your MiniPC access point use the 2.4 GHz Wifi not the 5 Hz,
and the same policies ( WPA, TK , ...) that your Home Accès Point.
Try to use "simple" SSID (mine is "MiniPC" )
About BlueTooth :
This point is for Robert.
About Wifi for myRotator and myFilterWheel :
I would like to have this also.
I have already compile this on ESP32-xxx
But it requires a change in ASCOM drivers.
This point is for Robert.
Best regards
Eric

Thanks for responding so quickly.
I would have to do more research on the configuration to connect to the network generated by the minipc... my computer knowledge is limited.
The phone connects without problems to this network, so I think it will be a configuration thing.
I use a fixed IP to know which IP I have to connect to. If it is dynamic, how can I know what IP has been assigned to the focuser?
Perhaps the problem comes from assigning a fixed IP to the minipc network (with the home network if the fixed IP works well)
All the best

I also use a Static IP.
You can scan the network using "Advanced IP Scanner" Windows application.
