Just a heads up. I was able to get OnStep and OnFocus working together in my STM32 Blue Pill rig by configuring OnStep to connect via Wifi and OnFocus via a COM port--both through either POTH or the n

Thanks--I did finally get my home network settings to 'stick' again. So I won't be trying the hard code mod until it 'unsticks' --pretty much guaranteed to happen, I'm sure.

I'm eager to give this a try. Where in the sketch did you add these lines? I searched for an appropriate place, but got lost as I am not an expert programmer. I presume that wifi.ino is the sketch in

OK, for some reason it is my turn in Wifi setting upload hell. I had recently updated to 3.16o, on my STM32 Blue Pill system, but now I can't get the Wifi configuration page to update my station setti

So just how is this done in Win 10? I tried this using com0com, as suggested by another user, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work. The steps described to set up virtual ports seemed a bit cr

That's not the case with me. I can run some distance in the 'Focus In' direction, either by pulsing, or by holding down the button. In the 'Focus Out' direction, it only works by holding down the corr

I am having the same issue (see post https://onstep.groups.io/g/main/message/24035) I get both directions after holding down either of the special function buttons for about 5 seconds, but I can only

I can attest that cutting the red wire in the designated place turns the unipolar 28BYJ-48 into a bipolar stepper. It does work, as I've tested it with an Arduino UNO and the CNC V3 shield with an LV8

So, I've been playing some more with a stepper motor configured for bi-polar (not the 28BYJ-48, but a Vexta CA041-9012328288-01-A from my junk pile) and But that's not my issue. At issue is that pulsi

Sure--I hate counting to '5'

Are you saying that increasing the value from, say 10 to 50 increases the step rate? Or do I have that backwards? Isn't that delay time set anywhere in the program? Seems like it must be programmed so

Yes, I am--but a very simple mod (pull off the blue cap and cut the red wire) makes it bipolar

Thanks for your reply, Rafael. Does this mean I can use a DC motor for focus? I hadn't seen that in the documentation anywhere. In the meantime, I think I solved my problem--turns out I had forgotten

Anyone have any experience with a 28BYJ-48 stepper modified for bidirectional operation? I'm using this with a DRV8825 driver jumpered for half-step operation, but it doesn't seem to work as installed

For some reason, I keep flagellating myself trying to get my RPi 3B+ to run my Onstep (STM32 Blue PIll flavor). So, of course, I've now discovered Indigosky, but am confused about setup. How do I conf

Is there any possibility of connecting to the webpage via USB--now or in the future? It would be a useful feature, as sometimes my configuration doesn't allow me to get there conveniently. I routinely

I cut my teeth on Sequator https://sites.google.com/site/sequatorglobal/ which is a Windows program (sorry, linux users) but it is probably the simplest and fastest stacking program around. There are

I like to point out that autoguiding doesn't have to be expensive. I use a relatively cheap Chinese (what isn't) guide camera (a "T7", selling under a number of different brand names) and an inexpensi

I have considered eventually adding a weather sensor and focuser to at least one of my systems. I have no need for an intervalometer for my Canon camera, as I have an electronic one, or I use APT to c

You may want to double check the size of the shaft on the worm drive of your mount. I recently modified an Orion AstroView mount https://www.telescope.com/Orion/Orion-AstroView-Equatorial-Telescope-Mo
