Yes, it uses the USB connector on the Nano board (long thin sub-board with black square just above it)

Not that I know of, as that would break Rob's copyright.

I build\use the DRV8825-HW203-Full systems boards with separate display\nudge switches (not needed if fully automated).

I've etched my own PCB's but I'm currently trying out some Aisler boards, see picture. My setup is the one to the left with display temperature probe etc. an Aisler board is on the right.

The best place to start is to have a read through the docs, decide what you need & then source the components. There is very little soldering to do, all the interconnecting leads are RJ11 (motor) or RJ45 (display).

is this usb controlled

thanks julian do they do it as a kiit with the  components as well,had a look but very unsure what i need exactly thanks

wow do these units come prebuilt (pcb wise)

Yes gina and ide need something to contrôle it with as Well thanks

Yes indeed.  I have made several remote controlled focusers with both Arduino Nano and Raspberry Pi and stepper motors.  I use 3D printed brackets designed to suit.

Thanks do you recomend Any inparticlar as Thérè seems to be loads especially on ebay cheers

hi just thinking about making a focus controller for my c8 edge but dont know where to start,can anyone suggest a motor /controller that maybe usb controlled

Not high and mighty at all, Mike.  I chose to upgrade for similar reasons and, like you, mine was $39 so made sense to do it at this point.  I also wanted the notifications module, and I hadn't paid for that add-in on 2.X, and really glad I did as they work brilliantly.

whats the notification module Rayd

thanks guys looking at the upgrade dont think i could justify the $79 thanks for your comments

just started a post on their forum thanks ray

thanks ray so its not a one off payment then and what are the planning tools? already have v2 licence

hi all see there is a version 3 of this software ,is there much difference between this and the latest v2 cheers

hi guys just wondered if anyone had tried the new software from aries and what your thoughts were cheers

omg the more images i see from this scope makes me wonder why i keep throwing money at my ed80 ds pro some of these images are excellent guys

Thanks should say its the heq5 pro

If you already have the Edge, and a mount capable of supporting it - then your next step is a CCD. You wont be doing big targets with it, but you can concentrate on the smaller galaxies or PN's.

next problem is what camera to go for instead of my d750??

thanks already have an heq5 goto, filters  filter wheel ect(not used them yet) and qhy5 mono(only used on planetary),the link is where i thought the edge and my d750 would be a good size,maybe its my dsl thats the problem for fov

thanks its just that i have the edge but been using my ed80 for the cigar galaxy/bodes,but the image is far too small ,i know i can crop but would like a bigger image to work with see single image

would the above scope be any good for dso with a nikon dslr as this has a good fov for my needs cheers for any comments
