I am planning to get a 200 mm RC scope but i hate collimation process on my newtonian. i tried lasers and a cheshire. whilst i am able to get fairly okay collimation following testing with a LED torch under a Al foil with a pin hole, the process usually takes hours. and the results were never fully satisfactory . then i saw a Ocal Electronic Collimator on FLO and thought it should not be difficult to make it using a Arducam + some python/openCV coding. So I 3d printed a 2 inch frame in which I screwed the camera.
first impression, need to reprint the 2 inch frame in red, so that it is easier to see on the mirror. camera i chose is a bit expensive but works well.
total cost was about 50 pounds for the camera. python codes and stl files are in https://github.com/rsarwar87/pyReflectorCollimator

I am having an issue running your .py files in Windows 10/11. I already have Python 3.11 installed. Any guide on how to run it?
Best Regards,

No one seems want to check on the VL805 firmware. The latest VL805 eeprom firmware is one of the main culprit for this. I have my ASI120MC running fine on rpi4 4GB and 8GB board.
Good luck.
