I just got an iphone and wonder if there is any software and cable (or bluetooth) to link to it. I have been using your decoder with Doug Braun’s software on a palm for my home built 13″ dobsonian.

Unfortunately, it won't work with a dob on an equatorial platform. There's no way for the interface to sense the motion of the platform. Sorry... Dave Hi Geoff -

BTW my Ek box is now 5 years old and gets used every clear night on both by 12: f/6 and 8" f/6 Dobs. Everyone who sees it wants one! I use a Keyspan serial to USB adapter available from Apple stores here in Australia. You could probably obtain one from Amazon I guess as well. They're not cheap but they work a treat. --geoff Hi Dave,
