Are you talking about setting latitude and longitude coordinates? If so, how long are you waiting between when you upload and when you switch off (because OnStep has a 5 second delay before it flushes

Sure , I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it here.

Otto, Thanks for sharing. Your conversion is in the showcase now. Yes, we need a table somewhere on what specific x driver goes with y board, as it is not obvious. In the meantime, users can either lo

I found a set of 60T with 6mm bore from Greece. Shipping was pretty fast at ~2 weeks, though by the time they arrived, I had found a supply of 60T, 6mm bore but no flanges, here in the US. Actually, I

Dear all, I'm going crazy with the star alignment... after the polar alignment made manually (seems quite good), I try to point something from stellarium or APT, the telescope goes in the correct dire

Hi everyone, I have a question to ask you ... then setup with computerized mount with onstep ... ascom driver to manage it with APT and stellarium (only for aesthetic reasons) ... Problem: if I make A

Looks like the controller's driver MOSFETs failed. Odd, those Motion King tin can steppers only draw 0.35 - 0.15A when tracking.

Howard compared the correct tension to that of a guitar string. So I go for some pitch that a guitar would make.

You call that messy? The EXOS-2 is actually a rebranded Meade LXD-75, now that Jinghua has lost Meade as a market.

Thanks a lot. Adjustment done, WIFI is already configured and just waiting for the motors to arrive!

Hi Mike! Thanks a lot for you detailed answer! :) I'm pretty sure that there won't be need for any additional features like those you wrote. So I'll start ordering the parts from my original post. The

I have a CG5 which is built similarly to the Skyview Pro as they are all variants of the EQ5. I have pictures with various comments on how I did the mounts. I did not have access to a 3D printer, so m

There are no kits that include mechanical parts for any mount at present. By mechanical, I mean the pulleys, belts, and mounting brackets for the motors. But there are electronic kits sold by George C

For some idea of what's involved in assembly of the MaxESP3 and the MiniPCB2, currently the best selling controller kits follow the link.

As far as the pulleys go it is a factor of what you can fit and what belts you have. Usually there is no room on the wormshaft for more than a 48 tooth pulley. Some have hacked enough metal to provide

They are all probably close as they are copies of the Vixen Great Polaris. Easy enough to measure one and do the math.

Thank you for sharing. I've been printing your V1 files while waiting on parts. I think I'll give those a shot first since they're already done though.

If you are autoguiding, you can get away with a rough polar alignment using the polar scope, then a single star align. That is what I have been doing since starting autoguiding, and it works well. If

Usually something between 36 and 42mm. There are online belt length calculators, but see https://onstep.groups.io/g/main/message/20027?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,belt+length,20,2,80,73300338

PROGRESS!! With some research, I found that the MiniPCB2 is a Teensy 3.2 board in Arduino. After installing the add-on, things began to make sense again. I had trouble establishing a connection betwee
