Hello,
i`d like to get the Papywizard software to work with our Merlin/Orionon MacOS SL.
I purchased the Bluestar Bluetooth Adapter but unfortunately i can`t get the connection to work.
After the configuration of the Bluetooth device in the system configuration of MacOS i wrote down the MAC adress of the adapter
and entered it into the Papywizard configuration. Of course i also chose the right plugin (Merlin/Orion)
Then i hit the connect button and from the looks of it it seems that the Bluetooth connection works properly.
After a while though i get an error message and a windows popup occurs which gives me an error at the Init stage of the connection.
I increased the loglevel to provide you guys with some further information. Any help on this matter would be really appreciated.
Many thanks in advance

Tried various other things to get rid of the problem, unfortunately still the same results yet:
Connection: green
Init: red
I tried it with a RS232 to RJ11 cable on a windows machine but still no success. The log says exactly the same as on my MacOS machine.
PC DirectMode on the Orion is enabled of course.

What is a 'bluestar bluetooth adapter'? Is it something plugged on the Merlin RJ11 connector? Doe you have the schematics?
And is your RS232/RJ11 cable a TTL cable? The Merlin does not support RS232 levels (in will burn it).

So do you have the GoTo model with the hand controller with the LCD display which supports PC DirectMode serial/TTL pass through?
Be aware that Papywizard enumerates serial ports from zero. So on a Windows system you may enter '0' or 'COM1'; '1' or 'COM2'; and so on when specifiying the serial port.

First of all thanks for your reply.
You can get an idea of how the Bluetooth device looks on the the following page.
http://stargazerslounge.com/member-equi … rived.html
I connected the Bluetooth adapter through the RJ12 port of the SynScan handmote with an RJ11 cable.
The device also offers a USB connection, from the computer to the BT adapter (with the appropriate drivers installed).
I even tried the USB connection by configuring Papywizard for a direct bluetooth connection, instead of a virtual serial link, with no success though.
You can find some additional information on the device here:
http://www.starrynightsupport.com/suppo … ategory=42
And is your RS232/RJ11 cable a TTL cable?
I needed to do all the configuration steps through remote administration. I asked a colleague to connect the Merlin with a RS232/RJ11 cable after the Bluetooth connection didnt work out.
I suppose it wasn`t a TTL cable but after the Logs showed the exact same errors, as compared to our BT connection attempts, i thought the failure is elsewhere to be found.
@mediavets
Of course thanks to you too for your answer 
So do you have the GoTo model with the hand controller with the LCD display which supports PC DirectMode serial/TTL pass through?
From the looks of it i would say yes. It is exactly the same hand controller as in the first link i gave fma38.
I wasn`t the one who purchased it though, i am just the IT guy who was asked to get all this to work as soon as possible.
After i found out (thanks to this forum) that it is advisable to set the PC DirectMode with the hand controller i asked my colleague to do it, which he did.
But even after that Papywizard shows Connection: green but Init: red as mentioned above.
Be aware that Papywizard enumerates serial ports from zero. So on a Windows system you may enter '0' or 'COM1'; '1' or 'COM2'; and so on when specifiying the serial port.
Yes the serial port of the windows test machine was ComPort1 and the Papywizard serial port was set to 0.

Please pay attention that the Bluestar need a "dedicated" cable for each telescope family!
The cable for Meade will not fit for a Skywatcher by exemple.... !!!
The message you get from Papywizard show that you get a BT connection between your PC using Papywizard and the Bluestar but that the Bluestar fail to connect the telescope !!!

So you mean that the connection cable between the BlueStar and the Orion/Merlin might cause the problem?
I used a simple RJ11 cable. Well in fact its a RJ12 cable (6P4C). What do you mean with "dedicated" cable.
Did it have to be special in a specific way and do you have an idea where i can purchase something like that?
The message you get from Papywizard show that you get a BT connection between your PC using Papywizard and the Bluestar but that the Bluestar fail to connect the telescope !!!
Yes that was exactly what i thought when i read through the logs.

I don't know why you purchased this Bluestar adapter in the first place; how long have you had it, it appears to be obsolete?
Why not dump it and get a Deltawave PapyMerlin Bluetooth adapter (which was designed for the task) instead?

But apparently the Bluetooth device itself doesn`t seem to be the problem does it?
You think my RJ12 cable is the problem? Is there any difference between an oridnary RJ12 and the one which is wired directly to the BT adapter in the links above?
Offline
According to what I found, the Starry Night adapter has standard RS232 signals, not TTL! So, do not connect it to the Merlin head, or you will burn it.
In any case, it won't work.

Allright, i ll purchase this BT adapter instead and dump the old one.

Hopefully everything works out if the new adapter arrives. ~70€ is even cheaper then the Bluestar was and thats including shipping.
I will give you guys an update when the new adapter arrives.
