Hello all, First post so be gentle with me... Got my Arduino, EasyDriver and stepper motor today; threw it all together on the desk and it works! Just waiting...
Hi, Has anyone found or developed any code to save essential data between power up sessions of the Arduino's EPROM storage. I'd like to be able to do that to...
Hi all I came here via the SGL thread on the Cloud Sensor. I can't seem to find any documentation in the files for this (ie: how to construct or what I need...
Hi, Has anyone ever tried to place an Arduino and all its associated shields inside the empty space of the desktop computer located inside the observatory?...
Hi, I thought I blew up my spendy i7 laptop today. While fiddling with a new 24V stepper I accidentally shorted two output leads. The driver chip blew (fine,...
Hi, I took a short video of my focuser being driven by the stepper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqohpio1jlw I uploaded a short 1080p clip so there should...
Hello, I been using the audrino-easystepper based focuser project on my newt for 6 months now and have been very happy with it. The stepper is directly coupled...
Hello all .... Has anyone built and is using one of these? Super little device but with problems. Not in the software - Neil did a pretty good job there as it...
Hi All, for those of you using rotary encoders on hand boxes for focusing (or any other project using rotary encoders for that matter), I have found this: ...
Hi. I have been following the posts on this forum by email for some time now. I want to build an Arduino tracking system to convert an old Takahashi EM200B....
Seems something has changed at yahoo groups. Trying to get in, with my yahoo ID and password, I am required to enter a verification code from a pic shown. No...
I have almost finished compiling my code for my dew heater. I have 2 DallasOneWires, a DHT11, and a 16x2 LCD. I want to compare either the ambient temp or...
Hi there, I've managed to compile and upload the code SGL_Focuser_Driver_nolcd_2_0_0I.pde to the Pro Micro (http://proto-pic.co.uk/pro-micro-5v-16mhz/). for...
Hello All, I'm building a temp-controlled dew heater as many have here, but I'm not using a humidity sensor and computing the dew point, I'm using the temp...
ok so I went through my wiring with a fine tooth comb and made sure everything was were it is suppose to be. I have my motor wires paired up like they should...
Hi I'm a little confused.... If I use micro stepping on my focuser control I need to keep a current if I'm stopping at a micro step, otherwise the motor will...
Hello there, very new to the arduino world... I'm interested in combining the Autoguider project with the autofocuser one. Both on one arduino board. is it...
Hi all I've upload the current code for my version of the focuser control. It is the working prototype with some comments. Also my hardware layout is upload as...
Hi all I've been playing around with the Arduino for a couple of months now and have now started out with a telescope/focuser control project. So imagine how...
Hi Gang, How is everyone? I've been a little bit ill but am back now, hopefully we'll get the backlash code sorted if neil hasn't done it already and I can...
