With the new driver LV8729 and 12515,55555556 microsteps per degree it works. Microsteps per ra revolution for EQ5 + Synscan Upgrade Kit is 4505600. 4505600 : 360 = 12515,55555556. EQMOD Pre-requisite

I had similar cases, it turned out as a bad stepstick. Try to check the voltage on the EN pin of the driver.

For the motor brackets I was planning on using a 3d printed design I was suggested, which can probably be tweaked almost on the go. Looking at the design it seems to be similar to the one you shared s

looks like it works now, and can successfully unpark, many thanks howard. slewing fine with NINA now too with only one issue, that being that RA only slews in one direction... not an issue when runnin

Should work for Axis1/2 AFAIK... Both drivers must be in the same micro-step mode and no micro-step mode switching is allowed; the spread pin on the drivers should be supported though.

I'd say what you are doing probably helps but isn't going to yield very good results. Google is your friend "polar alignment telescope" or similar, there are many ways. Drift aligning works well but t

Hi, Good job but I noticed a small error (inversion) with bore diameters of 16/12t and 48t RA Gear: 16t (GT2 6.35mm bore)+ 48t (GT2 5mm bore) and 150 6mm GT2 belt DEC Gear: 12t (GT2 6.35mm bore) + 48t

Matteo, On my CG5/EQ5, when the polar axis is "open" (that is, you can see through the polar scope), my scope can face 90 deg east or west. After polar aligning, HOME is when the scope faces towards P

the EQM35 Pro is similar to EQ3 but with better RA (but with with RA worm wheel with 180 teeth for high precision tracking (compared to 130 teeth for the EQ3) both RA and DEC motor and gears are locat

@Deputy, I dont have a 3D printer but I did look at printing those same motor housing because they look really great. The quotes I got were waaaaay too much compared to the $9 metal brackets on amazon

Also you can't enable tone and status LED simultaneously.

Same link "MS1: 00: ⅛, 01: ½, 10: ¼ 11: 1/16" I've always have read this as 1/16 µstep max. Selecting driver "TMC2209_QUIET" appears to serve up StealthChop, which I assume gives use the interpolated

I re-read that you have the MKS v1.0 board, but I checked and microstep jumper setting is the same for v1.0 and v2.0/2.1. One more thing, what is your Vref set at for the TMC2208?

Hi Otto, thanks for the reply, i just get it to work today, the problem was the wemos... I just set the slew rate higher to check if its making a difference, now i'm slewing with 2.5 I think its a rea

Ok, with your explanation, I understood. Thank you ! So I'll use 400-steps motors with TMC2225 drivers to set 32 microsteps.

Obrigado Howard, porém mesmo fazendo o ajuste ou persistindo o problema. Resolvi usar #define AXIS2_MICROSSTEPS_GOTO_OFF mas também não deu certo. O equipamento continua parando fisicamente bem antes
