Mount Support / Re: Old EQ6 with different gear unit

« on: October 18, 2017, 20:12:01 »

hy,

I made now a few tests but it dose not work, it is always to slow. I used a microguide ocular and all chanced i have made in the conifugre have not chanced anything. But when i use the w and e buttons it moved.

so i think the config is wrong.

I have made this http://eq6.n-t-l.de/conradmotoren.htm (the page is only in german) chance for around 13-15 years.

I have now testet with:

Motor step angel 7.5 and 1.8

Motor gear ratio 100 and 3.9.....  (because i think that i have 100 with the chance i have made)

Motor micro step level 32 and all others

goto rate 16 (see my config file i have postet from the mts3 controller)

Given you have a large gearbox, you'll need to likely choose 1/4 as the microstep mode.

how many usetp u mean?

i have testet with different conifugrations, some dosent work like step angel 1.8 and gear ratio 100, there i get an error in the config utility.

when u have no other idea, i will build it back to original and test it again.

Mount Support / Re: Old EQ6 with different gear unit

« on: September 27, 2017, 21:32:59 »

hi tom,

thank you for your answer.

Is there any further gearing between the output of the "translation" and the worm screw?

No.

Looking at the motors, they appear to be very similar to those used on the HEQ5 mount - and in fact that had a gear ratio of roughly 132:1, so it wouldn't surprise me if they were exactly the same

this i have chanced to a 100:1, so i think it will not work with 7.5 degrees.

i can't test it in the moment because the weather is not good, i hope it will be better in the next few days to test it.

thank you
Michael

hi tom,

thank you for your help, my english is very bad, i hope u understand what i write.

All what i have chanced is the gear on the motor (the motor itself is the original) and the gearing Translation (the original was 132:1 the new one is 100:1). that was all what i have chanced.

I hope this is all what u need to know and thank you

I have chanced both Axes RA and DEC

Mount Support / Old EQ6 with different gear unit

« on: September 18, 2017, 17:18:07 »

Hi,

I have one of the first EQ6 (it is round 15 years old) and give it a different gear unit more than 10 years ago but i dont know the values of it anymore, all what i have is a working config for my Boxdörfter MTS3. So i need help to configure astroeq correct.

;MTSconfi.exe configuration file for original EQ6 motors and Conrad Getriebe
;Data for 12 Volt, can be changed as needed.
;Motors are rated for 6V, so the current must be reduced to 60% for 12V.
;Some values are only used for specific models.
;Unused values can be deleted or they are just ignored if present.
RAslow = 20.054779 ;180*100*96/86164
RAfast = 280.0 ;16x
DEslow = 20.054779     
DEfast = 280.0 ;16x
RAMG = 9600 ;100*96=9600
DEcurrent = 350      ;MTS-4 only
RAcurrent = 350      ;MTS-4 only
DEpwm = 50%            ;MTS-3SLP, MTS-3SDI only
RApwm = 50%             ;MTS-3SLP, MTS-3SDI only
DElimit = 900      ;MTS-3SLP, MTS-3SDI only
RAlimit = 900      ;MTS-3SLP, MTS-3SDI only
Acceleration = 2   
Stepsize = 1/64      ;MTS-3SDI, MTS-4 only
Corrfactor = 1.4

What values i must chance in the EQ6-Synscan.conf from astroeq for my mount?

I hope that some one can help me.

Thank's
Michael
