Fit for telescope/camera control: no keyboard or monitor?
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 4:50 pm
I am considering using the Fit-PC2 for remotely controlling a telescope and two cameras using Windows software and lots of USB connected devices. I would like to access the Fit-PC with remote software like UltraVNC over a WiFi connection (and them potentially an Internet connection). I have some concern from this statement in the manual:
Working without a connected display automatically disables the graphics controller – saving up to 20% power.
For remote operation I don't see any reason to have a keyboard or monitor connected to the Fit-PC. Can I still view screens with a UltraVNC connection?
A Fit-PC solution would seem desirable for it low power consumption and small form factor.
Any other issues?
