Arduino Ascom focuser Mark2
I had a go at making a remote focuser to use with my 127MAK a while back http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/202282-ascom-and-arduino/ At the time It was a purely manual device with a 5-way switch to set the direction and speed with a rotary encoder to do fine adjustments. I wanted to turn it into an Ascom-driven device so I can use it remotely from my PC. It also needed a better way of attaching to the scope tube as I was using an old belt to keep it in place which wasn't always reliable. So, sin
Got back after almost a years break from anything to do with astronomy, due to work, and wanted to update the focuser with the latest arduino file.
It all went great and just wanted to thank you Dave (and everyone else involved of course ) for the awesome project!
This build combined with big easy driver and a NEMA17 42BYGHM809 is a BEAST, I am moving a 4.5kg weight attached to a steeltrack focuser as I am writing this post
The only things I had to touch was the following in case any
