Thank you very much for that Tom
My gear ratios are:-
RA 2880:1
DEC 1126:1
Both are running large (very large) worm and wheels (720 and 563 respectively) then through gears (4:1 and 2:1).  OTA is of the order of 300kgs.

I had looked at your tutorials wiki, but couldn't find any reference to the firmware for the programmed devices.

Thanks for your time.

DIY AstroEQ / AstroEQ for custom mount

« on: October 28, 2014, 10:18:42 »

Hi Tom
Am very interested in your project, but have a few questions as I am working on a large custom mount:-
Do you do a self build kit?
Can I get the programme information for the programmed devices (where is it)?
I need to use different stepper drivers due to current required (I will be using Nema 23 steppers going upto 3 amps), do you have an alternative?
Can it support position senders/transducers?
Can it be made to support 64 microsteps?
Can it support the Synta handset?

I suspect the answer to a lot of these is to work it out for myself, but would appreciate any guidance you can give.
Cheers
Stuart
