Hi Tom.
I am sorry, I have been traveling and I have not the chance to do anything with the AstroEQ until now.
The problem with the com port seams to be solved. I really don’t know how.
I tried to run the configure task again, and this time the board kept the connection for about 3 minutes, then the com port were lost.
Then I realized that I had to run first the “Update Firmware” before running the “configure”.
After running the “Update Firmware”, the com port remains on. Then I ran the “configure”, charging the “EQ5-Custom-Pulley.conf” config file. Is this the right one?
Now, when I opened the “Cartes du Ciel”, I can connect with the Telescope (via your AstroEQ), and I can move the Telescope and do some kind of Goto.
Now I am having the problem that I miss some steps in RA, so that, the goto is not precise enough.
I have the EQ5 Skywhatcher mount, and I have bought the NEMA 14 stepper motors, and pulleys and belts you mentioned in this web side.
The torque in AR motor seams that it is not enough. According with your experience, which is the current that should be applied to the motors? I have tried with 1.5A in RA.
On the other hand, do I have to upload the config file every time I turn on the board?
Thanks Tom
Kind regards
Mateo
