The BLTc has extra features: It implements all of the two contacts to the camera: shoot and focusing.
Both of these contacts are opto isolated.
There is an extra command: ":X1n" whre n can be 0,1,2 or 3.
bit 0 means shooting, bit 1 means focusing.
0:  shoot off, focus off
1:  shoot on, focus off
2:  shoot off, focus on
3:  shoot on, focus on

Why don't you just implement a new command for the focus contact (:X1n, with n in 0/1, for example), and keep the 'O' command for the shutter? This is much more intuitive, and does not require to OR/AND/XOR a value to set/reset somes bits...

My - speaking only for myself - only interest is to have things working in a simple way . . . for making me use them for my work without working ON them . . .

My idea....

If the TA adapter was available 3 weeks ago my choice was easy, no matter the extra euro's
Same for the N770.
If I knew the N800 was better and easier to install things on I would choosen this device.
No problems for now, it's working great but indeed I needed help to get  things working and thank you ALL for that !

This is realy interresting that Teleskop Austria has pushed a "concurent solution" but I think exactly as Andrew, this is not "cheap" and actually "not in line really" with the spirit of the PAPYWIZARD/MERLIN project.   

I wouldn't speak of a concurent solution but more about an extra, easy, solution.
We have a choice and that's good.

If the approach of the PAPYWIZARD/MERLIN project is CHEAP
I have a working solution here (serious, I made pano's with it.....)
10 euro for the Manfrotto part and 1,43 Euro for the hook.
Have Fun !

its manfrotto part no. 196. i have it sitting on my table and i know now what to to with it.
i am actually setting up 3dstereo and 3dstereopan-rigs using stereodatamaker.

2. can we generate a constant rotating turntable-action?
3. do these device work with stereodatamaker? like the mars-3dpancam. to my knowledge synchro of two eos is not yet implemented in chdk/sdm.
4. for those new to merlin, could you show us or explain which parts are needed to make it run and how it is connected or not?
bluetooth for wireless pc-connection? or wireless controller-turntable-connection?
thanks

But wondering if the focus feature is really interesting from Papywizard... What do you think about?

imho: No
as the cam does not shoot, when it gots no focus ->> picture is missing, pano is gone ...

e.g. while the cam is not able to shoot with a "default" focus setting when it can't focus I don't see any use
