AstroEQ Support / Star Tracker
« on: January 14, 2021, 18:42:14 »
Hello Tom, and I hope all is well with you!
Can I use an astroEQ to control this tracker?
https://va3ngc.weebly.com/barndoor-drive.html
The screw has a pitch of 1mm with a stepper motor of 1.8 °! how to do for the ratio?
With a TB6600 driver I can run at 16 micro steps maximum!
I just need the right sidereal speed.
Thank you so much,

Just connect the 8825 as shown in the diagram and there is no problem, just adjust the current for the stepper motor correctly !

Hello,
Everything is here :
https://github.com/TCWORLD/AstroEQ
If it's an Arduino Mega2560 and it doesn't work, you need to load a recent bootloader !

AstroEQ Support / frequency signal
« on: March 20, 2020, 19:36:47 »
Hello Tom,
I hope all is well on your side !!
What is the frequency of the sidereal tracking signal on the clock inputs of drivers in 16 microstep mode for example?
thank you so much

DIY AstroEQ / mega pro mini
« on: March 11, 2020, 17:35:18 »
Hello Tom,
In anticipation of making a small stars tracker and to save a lot of space I thought of this ProMini card, could the program work with it?
https://www.amazon.fr/Robotdyn-ATmega2560-16-compatible-2560-R3-avec-damorçage/dp/B071P8NX6T
Of course it will be necessary to add a USB / TTL converter.
Thank you
Pierre

Hello,
Are the tests conclusive?
Can the code work in something else than the Nano card, for example in a mega2560 pro mini?
Have a good day,
Pierre

AstroEQ Support / Re: Bootloader Atmega 162
« on: March 07, 2020, 15:35:28 »
Hello,
The trials continue!
Goto with sky map ok!
On the other hand when I simulate the port ST4, a contact of pin 32 with the ground accelerates the engine well but it remains accelerated at the speed 0,25x!
The other three pins work well, what should I do?
Is there a special configuration in Eqmod that can solve the problem?
Thank you
Pierre

Good evening,
Everything works, but I ask my question again!
Eqmod opens at the end of the configuration but the star is crossed with a red line and it is noted timeout in eqmod!
If I relaunch Eqmod a second time in the utility there it works, I would like to have help because I only miss this problem to solve!
thank you so much

Hello,
Why do I have to restart Eqmod twice at the end of the configuration for it to work?
I have version 3.9.2, I reloaded Ascom and Eqmod, but nothing helps, it worked well with the Mega2560!
Otherwise for the goto it's bad it looks like there are communication problems with the sky map.
From the moment when the engine is running, I suppose that the bootloader is well fitted?
Thanks for the info, sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself and no answers yet there are a lot of regulars here!
Thank you
