Hi Mateo,
Correct, using the hand controller schematic from that thread will allow you to move the mount around using NESW buttons, at three different speeds (ST-4 speed, 2x speed, and Go-To speed) without the need for a PC. #
You must select the ST-4 speed on the hand controller in order for the AstroEQ to detect there is a hand controller plugged in. Once detected it will automatically start tracking at the sidereal speed. The NESW speed inputs are relative to sidereal, so selecting 2x speed will actually be 3x west and 1x east.
To switch back to allowing EQMOD to control the mount, you need to remove the hand controller (or select 2x/GoTo speed), then power cycle the AstroEQ.
Kind Regards,
Tom.
