10€ wireless PushTo DSC system

[aeropic]

Hi Stargazzers,

 

After my Equatorial table, I'm pleased to show you a very cheap and easy to build fully wireless DSC...

As my DSC is wireless, each axis is independant of the other, You do not  have to manage the messy wires when rotating your telescope (especially the Azimuth axis is then fully free to rotate in any direction and can even make several turns if you like) !

 

Each axis (Az, Alt) includes an AS5600 magnetic rotation Hall effect sensor, an ESP32 and a battery power supply (a powerbank directly plugged into the micro USB socket of the ESP32)).

That's all, no fancy things but a KISS (Keep It Smart and Simple) pushto system that anybody can reproduce.

There is no PCB as the ESP32 is plugged in mezzanine over the sensor.

 

It works in BlueTooth and it is compatible with Skysafari "basic protocol".
