Default limits
There are horizon and also Axis1 min/max limits in OnStep. They stop tracking and prevent gotos.

Project TinTac - a breadboard setup for testing OnStep code
Below is how I see it, at least for a TA drive with a "sliding pivoting arm" i.e. the screw is fixed (at both ends) relative to the axis and the arm travels along it. I'm no expert on TA's but I also

OnStep Configuration Generator lives on ...
For the TMC5160 you should ALWAYS use one of: TMC5160, TMC5160_QUIET, TMC5160_VQUIET The registers are similar but NOT identical to the TMC2130. None that are exposed to the user.

This code is in ~/lib/Coord.h where step counts are converted to/from instrument coordinates. My approach seems correct, comments and testing results are welcome. #if AXIS2_TANGENT_ARM_CORRECTION == O

The new code for TA limits (should) work like the old code. I simply consolidated several functions that did more or less the same thing into one and added functionality where guides are blocked in so

So you switch the relays to setup the direction (clutches, etc) and power up the slew motors, then watch the encoders?

RA DEC axis no movements
Note that shunts go into J1 and J2 between pins 1-2 for both. That brings the MISO SPI signal to OnStep but even that is optional and not required for this to work.

I'm using the same on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 here. No idea why this would be, but I have a two ideas... 1. Look at the log in SP to see if anything helpful is there after attempting to connect. 2.

Probably half-coil mode is going to be better if you need to reach decent RPM's (normally the rated current, 2A in this case, is for driving these half-coils in unipolar steppers.) Note: in full-coil

Wondering if IGOTO messes with the stealthChop current regulation and just shouldn't be used in VQUIET. I will test.

First let me say that I'm glad to see you back and hope you're feeling better now. I will investigate the issue but could you first let me know what version of OnStep. Is this 3.16 or the master?
