Thomas,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Some time I could afford; But, not sure I have the programming skills.

Maybe a nice challenge for one of your future major upgrades...

Thanks again and best regards,

Francois

DIY AstroEQ / AstroEQ compatibility with Teensy

« on: January 06, 2017, 19:15:36 »

Hello,

First of all, I would like to congratulate Thomas for his incredible work on AstroEQ. Simple, clean, well documented and organised material, ASCOM/EQMOD compatible...thank you for making this available.

I am currently investigating and experimenting with different hardware with the intent to develop a very accurate system for my next German Equatorial Mount. For example, possibly using the new Trinamic SilentStepStick TMC2130 for motor drivers and possibly a "real" crystal oscillator equipped Teensy 3.2 micro-controller.

What changes to the AstroEQ firmware code would have to be made in order to be "compatible" with a Teensy 3.2 board? I have not spent a lot of time investigating the code and I am wondering what kind of coding effort would be required?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Francois
