I really like your project and progress. I am actually doing something similar, but with the use of an eq1 mount. I had the economy drive as well but I opted toward using a separate stepper motor that accepts microstepping. If your interested, here is my project currently:

I also have the forum post that gave me the arduino coding if its any use for you:

Thank you so much! Like you wind and polar alignment always kill me when I'm trying to track. Since im ra guiding only my dec has to be really precise, and wind confuses phd2 while tracking. I plan to step down my telescope size from the included 114mm 900mm scope to a small wide field refractor, it will be so much more manageable.
Good luck with your project too!
