DIY AstroEQ / Re: DIY Arduino build

No idea, sorry. Tried viewing just the picture from both a different browser and one in incognito mode to make sure it wasn't only viewable due to being logged into an account. Try right clicking and viewing image in a new tab. Might give a better error.
I've just got my motor mounts done, and currently hooking them into the circuit to test them. Running a little hot at the moment, so need to tweak that a bit.
Then I need to figure out how to drive this thing.

DIY AstroEQ / DIY Arduino build
« on: April 05, 2016, 14:51:53 »
So, decided to do a DIY build, seeing as I had most of the parts already, just needed a cheap £10 chinese knockoff arduino.
First try:
Decided to tidy it up and put it on a matrix board shield
Actually my first attempt at using matrix board. Normally use strip board or make a PCB.
Did have a problem with the power LED not coming on, and random disconnects. Turned out some of my solder joints were touching the USB casing. Ooops.
Just need to physically mount them motors to the EQ5. Thats the part I'm not so good at. Anyone still offering brackets? I may have to get my 3d printer working again.
Also, do you have a paypal address for donations? I'm doing the DIY version, but happy to send a tenner over for the hard work.
