Still think its worth seeing what you can do hacking the 492 handbox. It's got focus control, too. Geo. ... the ... combination ... or ... the ... drain ... ...
The 506 clone I did is running fairly well and I just made a small tweak to the code to turn it into an Aux bus sniffer, so this, along with autostaretx's...
Gene, Definitely the autoguider. After that...find out what focusers and reticle devices that there are out here that people want. As for power, MAYBE a...
Powering via the USB could be an option with the implications the max power draw would be 500ma for a focuser motor and parts. A guider only would come in at...
... The "909" can/should be powered from the AUX socket (after all, why add -more- cables?). The focus function -can- be achieved by Meade 1244 (and the like) ...
Is power a problem? Surely the unit will be powered from the telescope 12 volt supply via the AUX port? Obviously of great interest to LX90 owners. But will...
Wouldn't one of the modern, high efficiency three pin voltage regulators be better than a zener? I would love to see some of the gruesome (pseudo?) I2C...
A modern regulator would be nice but the draw of even the old lm317T's is a few ma if the load is only a few ma. The 25ma I am seeing for the 506 clone...
... My patch kits provide 909 APM functionality for all motor-types. The LXD55/75 motor units will seek/accept 909 APM signals and functions without requiring...
You know what I want? First and foremost? Well, I want Meade to reade this - and to realise that, because they NEVER seem to listen to 'us', their customers,...
Thanks, Dick - I'd better keep this post safe in case the units eventually become available ;-) Cheers, Peter. http://www.madpc.co.uk/~peterv/index.html ...

I'm a newbie to this. I've got an meade lxd75 mount but want to buy an celestron cg-5 mount. Is it possible to add the lxd75 motors and autostar to the...
... Yep.....they bolt right on... I do believe you have to have a shorter RA bolt, though... What is wrong with the LXD75 that you want to replace it with a...

Spent some time to do a drawing comparing the Gizmo gear against the small DS/DH/ETX gear that has been the subject of many failures. As you can see from the...
Yeah, those RJ10 4P4C modular connectors are pain to find. The 25' hand set cables use them. I got a bag of 100 on eBay for $6 delivered from Hong Kong. See...
I had a 1244 focuser apart (found a split motor output gear). Uses the same MOSFETS (9933 and 9936) as the DS motors for the H-bridge and has a LM7805. G....

It is my understanding that the LXD-75 has ball bearings and it is the LXD-55 that did not. At any rate, the CG-5, LXD-55 and LXD-75 are all Chinese. If you...
