This Topic is to keep users up to date on the MiniPCB and MaxPCB designs which are available on EasyEDA.

Yes, it's my intention to design a 3D printed case for the MaxPCB. It'll be a while though. Especially since I'm reworking my Observatory Control System with a EasyEDA PCB also and that will be built

I don't like to complain about a free service, but I finally reached my breaking point with Yahoo's non-sense. I can now paste images into messages! File upload works! GitHub integration! There's a Wi

While no one that I know of has used the ESP-12 (e,f,s?) I would be very surprised if my OnStepESPServer didn't run properly on it. My experience has been with the ESP-01 and the nice WeMos D1 Mini.

Yes, use the Alternate pin-map for the MiniPCB and MaxPCB.

Both beta and alpha OnStep's will work, the alpha is recommended at the moment.

This group has 11% of the Yahoo Group member count... in 5 days. Not too bad. OnStep has a large body of information over there at Yahoo but yea the switch really had to be done. One up-side is the ti

You're not the first user to run into this, and it has nothing to do with Sky Planetarium, this is an OnStep ASCOM driver dialog issue... The immediate solution is to make sure valid data exists in al

Here's a link to a slightly experimental OnStep ASCOM driver (version 1.39) that should address many of the issues you're having (and others.) Hopefully without breaking anything. :) I still wonder if

Alain, - Without any modifications in OnStepESPServer, the upload on my Wemos works fine. Good - When I open a serial monitor on my COM port at 9600, I can see commands like: :#:#:SB1# ... This is cor

Search the OnStep Yahoo Group for "G41"

Alain, Be sure debug mode is off. I recommend using the WeMos D1 Mini's LED (set in Config.h), it'll flash until connected, simple but some feedback so you know what's going on. LED_PIN D4 Maybe, it's

My router is at 192.168.0.1 The default for OnStepESPServer is to run in "station" mode where you connect to the device from a Laptop or Cell-phone over WiFi. Your home network isn't really a factor i

Oops, let me revise that first part, I made a mistake! My router is at 192.168.0.1 The default for OnStepESPServer is to run in "access-point" mode where you connect to the device from a Laptop or Cel

MiniPCB: In the end its up to you. Take the risk on a new design which has an improved layout and features and costs less (EasyEDA) or go with a known good design (ExpressPCB) at several times the PCB

Turn serial swap OFF, upload, then you should be able to connect (serial console) across the USB interface and re-initialize using the "R" command. Follow the instructions in OES's Config.h

Multiserial Isn't needed in this case. The WeMos has USB to serial, use it to communicate with the device for sending "R" (which is really just clearing some "EEPROM" settings in OES back to default.)

ONE STEP AT A TIME OK, It works and I'm back to where I was yesterday. But the command R does not work. Timing is important when sending the R, I would try again. I have NEVER seen this fail to work i

I don't understand how setting:... #define SERIAL_SWAP_ON ...could possibly cause a problem uploading the OES Sketch.

No notes other than those for the prior version MiniPCB are done yet. If you download ExpressPCB classic version I think it's called and study the the prior version PCB and notes it might help. J1 is
