I checked and the cable I described is TPE jacket, not polyurethane..much more flexible than typical PVC over temp. The manufacturer is Quabbin Cable and I bought it from Automation Direct. They have

For all cables from OnStep to scope mount I used circular eight conductor "ethernet cable"...eight wires in four twisted pairs. I used high flex, low temperature rated cable (has polyurethane outside

I bought a refurbed Chromebook Dell 3120 for about $75 with the naive thought that Chromebook meant Android compatibility. Not really. This particular Chromebook does not support Android apps natively

Jay, Thanks for your reply. When you say a "device hub" would that be a USB hub? If so, then I would use two different USB ports on the laptop to connect to the hub...one port for PHD2 program, the se

I have been successful using Onstep connected to Stellarium (direct connect via USB serial port into Onstep). I also have a SHC running on Onstep. I am now trying to figure out how to do guiding with

I have what might be called a fix though it is really avoiding the problem. By changing the SmartWebServer (SWS) config.h entry "SERIAL_BAUD_DEFAULT" to 57600 baud and of course, changing the ONSTEP S

Mike, I just grabbed 4.24 from Github and flashed it. I get the same behavior as before as described in the first post on this topic. Something else is amiss.

First, thanks to Khalid and others for helping me get things running. Specifically, I suspect my Onstep setup is different than most. The wireless connection to Onstep via the Android app is though a

I ran into an interesting phenomenom while troubleshooting my Blue Pill / STM32 based Onstep system. The symptom was that intermitently, the Onstep would not boot up on power up as evidenced by behavi

Khalid, Thanks. That helped keep me on the hunt. I finally got it to work today. As usual, a simple error on my part. The IP address to use when going through the eithernet connection even with a wire

I seem to have gotten at least part way to getting to talk to the SWS via an ethernet connection to a wireless router. Rather than setting up the wireless router as an Access Point, I set it up as sim

Do to the specifics of my scope setup, it would be useful to connect my Onstep via wired Ethernet to a wireless router confiugred as an Access Point. I have loaded SmartWebServer (SWS) onto a Teensy 3

Howard, Thanks. That fixed it. Compiled without an issue. Now off to test ethernet connectivity.

Relative to the issue I just posted, I pulled the SWS code this morning fresh from Github.

Trying to compile SmartWebServer (SWS) for a Teensy 3.2 install for wired Ethernet operation (not wireless). I am getting errors relating to "NVS does not name a type" primarily but also concern that

Perfect. Thanks. Just ordered a teensy 3.2....looks cheaper and smaller than an Arduino zero. I plan to make my own perfboard. Will use SWS.

Khalid, that helps a lot. One further question...what choices are there for the microcontroller that interfaces to the w5500? reading the referenced page it looks like a teensy is one choice. Are ther

I have a working blue pill stm32 onstep with WiFi. Is it possible to run with a wired Ethernet module (replacing the WiFi module) given I might need to modify the circuit board? I have searched and do

Howard, Thanks for the idea about adding the goHome(true)...I will give it a try.. I totally agree that an un-commanded rapid motion on startup should not be added and is not something I was looking f

Rambro, I had a similar expectation on how the HOME sensors would work after powering back up in order to reestablish a mechanical reference for the telescope and mount. As I can best understand the d
