Does someone have experience using (and reverse-engineering) Aurora Cloud Sensor (http://www.auroraeurotech.com/CloudSensor.php)? I have one with cutting cable. I want to try to read data from it using an RS232 adapter. There are 8 connected cables inside the Aurora, but I don't know their usage...

The connected board is temperature sensor DS18B20. I built the focuser as a prototype on a breadboard. It works nice. I have only less than 800 steps from a minimal to a maximal position of focuser. Isn't it little? I have Crayford focuser on SW Newton 200/1000 with SW motor focuser. I'll have to test it on the stars but it's always cloudy here. Is it possible to make steps smaller? I use code from this site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mydcfocuserrelativedcfocuser/files/CODE ARDUINO/

Steve, thank you for your answer. I also made some investigation. The black (1st) and red (2nd) cables are connected together and the same for green (3rd) and yellow (4th) (see photo). I drew a scheme of planned Arduino focuser. Is something wrong on it? I'm only waiting for a package with the motor driver. I hope that the focuser will be completed in a month.

Hi, I plan to make a similar Arduino focuser using my DC motor from SkyWatcher motor focuser. I don't need any buttons etc. I can't see from the video how it's connected motor driver to RJ11 socket and also to Arduino. Could someone help me?
