Does anyone here have a 3D printable case STL file for the AstroEQ based on the Arduino Mega+shield please?

General Discussion / Hand Controller
« on: January 03, 2022, 12:20:03 »
Happy New Year to all folks here.
while reading a few messages there is a mention of a hand controller. I'd like to build one for my outreach sessions, but I am unable to find any documentation and build instructions. Tom, would you please advice?

Sathya.

DIY AstroEQ / arduin Mega circuit diagram
« on: May 04, 2021, 17:50:22 »
Hi Everyone,
I am an electronic noob and would really appreciate some help from folks who've built a diy astroeq with the arduino mega. I would like to know what to connect where on the mega and perhaps some step by step instructions if available.
TIA,
-Sathya.

DIY AstroEQ / New user with 2012HEQ5PRO
« on: May 02, 2021, 14:05:12 »
Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum as well as AstroEQ. I have a 9 year old HEQ5-PRO Synscan which has now gone bust. After looking at the cost of a new board from FLO, I remembered that a friend had successfully used AstroEQ for this Chinese EQ3-1 mount. After a prolonged discussion with him, I decided to jump into the bandwagon and have ordered myself the Arduino Mega, couple of driver board etc etc for a DIY AstroEQ board which i will house in a 3D printed case and bolt onto the mount.
Before I begin, i would be very garteful if someone could tell me if 135:1 is good enough gear ratio for the mount or a more precise number is required? Anything else that I need to know please?
Looking forward to your replies,
Regards,
Sathya.
