  1. Hi Howard, Checked that it's connected correctly. I'll also check continuity, buts Looks like it could be a hardware failure Steve
  2. Hi Howard, Both OK ds18b20_celsius = read_DS18B20(); // MLX90614_celsius = read_MLX90614(); OK // ds18b20_celsius = read_DS18B20(); MLX90614_celsius = read_MLX90614(); Nothing....... Steve
  3. Hi Howard, Got the following feedback from the serial monitor Initializing DS18B20 sensor...Initializing MLX90614 sensor...Steve
  4. Hi Howard' Nothing at all registering in the serial monitor screen. Uploaded the program onto another nano... same result Steve
  5. Thanks Howard, I'll set it up and check the nano is connecting Steve
  6. Hi Daniel, Just a final check on the temp probe. Is it correct VCC to 5v, and probe D10 with a 4,7kohm resistor between 5V and D10. I have read somewhere using the one wire setup both the vcc and ground are connected. Hence one wire. Steve
  7. Hi Daniel, Sorted the arduino issue and have uploaded the programme and it shows the command tab. Connected the Arduino nano and opened Maxpilote to setup properties, arduino nano set on com port 11. Any ideas to why this should happen? Sorry for being a pain........ Steve
  8. Got it to load eventually, but SGPro has thrown up an error Frustrating but I'll have to figure this one out...... Steve
  9. Hi Daniel, Sorted the ic2master issue now hit with this:- Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328" CloudSensorEvoPlus.ino: In function 'void loop()': CloudSensorEvoPlus:114: error: 'processCommands' was not declared in this scope Any help would be really appreciated to this arduino novice. BTW your finished cloud sensor looks amazing and very professionally completed. Steve
  10. Hi Daniel, I've tried to download the ic2 library http://jump.to/fleury but it takes me to a casino site which requires me to sign up This can't be right....... Steve
  11. Hi Daniel, I've uploaded the code but get the following errors:- Arduino: 1.6.5 (Windows 7), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328" CloudSensorEvoPlus.ino: In function 'void init_MLX90614()': CloudSensorEvoPlus:77: error: 'i2c_init' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus.ino: In function 'void loop()': CloudSensorEvoPlus:114: error: 'processCommands' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus.ino: In function 'float read_MLX90614()': CloudSensorEvoPlus:192: error: 'I2C_WRITE' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:192: error: 'i2c_start_wait' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:193: error: 'i2c_write' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:196: error: 'I2C_READ' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:196: error: 'i2c_rep_start' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:197: error: 'i2c_readAck' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:199: error: 'i2c_readNak' was not declared in this scope CloudSensorEvoPlus:200: error: 'i2c_stop' was not declared in this scope 'i2c_init' was not declared in this scope I can confirm the i2c folder is in the arduino library Steve
  12. Hi Patrik, That's good news. I'd like to make up an AFF2 auto focuser with the NEMA17 bipolar stepper motor as my existing AFF2 AF works with my WOStar71 but not my AA80 which has a beefier focuser. Another point 12v is on the upper limit of the Easy Driver. I would put a 3 Watt - 15 ohm resister after the 12v input to lower the voltage to around 9v. Steve
  13. Hi Patrik, Nice connection to the beautiful MoonLite. But, the motor looks like a 4 pole, four wire stepper motor, which as you have stated will be driven by the Easy driver board. Correct me if I'm wrong but the present the AAF2 code does not support the easy driver. King regards Steve
  14. 200" Palomar mirror :eek: The guy in the white shirt looks minute against that leviathan of a mirror. Damian take a large print of this and put it in a prominent position in your "lap shop" and when you feel you're up against it - look at the photo and .... draw breath. Steve
  15. My beloved Tal 200K. This is a f8.5 version and I have fitted a focal reducer to image at manageable f5.2. Steve
  16. The Dual imaging rig: Altair Astro 80ED Triplet and the WO Z71 Star Triplet. Steve
  17. +1 from me. I'm on my 3rd focuser now for my trusted Tal 200k Steve
  18. Fantastic reports Alan. Both the Scope review and your first light. It is so pleasing to read that someone has put faith into purchasing bespoke equipment and it EXCEEDS their expectations. I know you will spend many many nights under the stars with that fabulous scope. Listen to me..........an imager...........am I turning back to the bright side...... Steve
  19. Set it up and it works with MaximDL. Including the temperature, which updates every thirty seconds. Steve
  20. Just to throw another confusing point in this debate. The distance from a FF/FR to the CCD plane is critical to obtain a flat field i.e. nice round stars to the very edges of your image. Does the fact that adding filters to the imaging train alters this distance and could cause the flat field from not being flat? Steve
  21. According to the QSI data sheet you have to subtract 1/3rd the thickness of the filter from your back focus distance. Also, if you have any additional filters in the imaging train. Huchtech idas LP filter for example, that has to be taken into account. Steve
  22. Nice one Jules. It makes you feel so elated on completion of a task you have dreaded since discovering the problem. So pleased the good ol TAL's back to it's old best. Steve
