Perhaps you will have better luck than me with it

I am also interested in the 'Papywizard' system, especially since it can be controlled on a Nokia internet tablet. I am personally waiting for good prices and availability of the Orion/Merlin GOTO mounts in Canada, as well as a cheap/easy wired (or wireless) connection to control it (bluetooth?). The last time I checked the project, it still looked 'tricky' and 'expensive'. It sounds like you want to try to *combine* the 'movement' control with gphoto2 via USB controls?
Hi,
Papywizard can control the Merlin with Bluetooth you can find all you need on the forum
http://www.autopano.net/forum/f20-me...and-papywizard
or in french

The merlin is not expensive 219 € TTC - i don't know in us Can but seems to be same.
I use Papy on 3 sys, nokia, linux and win, all goes well
gphoto2 only in linux. for win and nokia i use a "schutter" directly controled by "Merlin"
