I'm hoping the AstroEQ does what I need. Situation:
My current mount uses Hurst 115V synchronous motors at 1/2 rpm. The mount cannot be modified for goto and I'd like to update to steppers as the synchronous motors are being obsoleted. Don't care about goto or slewing rates, all I really desire is good stepper motor control. I've found direct replacements for my existing motors from the same manufacturer. The motors, however, are 6 wire 4 phase bifilar. I've attached spec sheets with a wiring diagram. The motors I'm looking at are the LSG35012 gearmotor series from Hust. One has 12,000 steps/rev and the other has 14000 steps/rev. With about a 100 - 120 pulse/sec rate, I should get the correct sidereal rate and it should be very smooth.
If you could review and let me know if they would work, it would be greatly appreciated. If the AstroEQ would work, consider me on the buy list!
Thanx!
