Thank you, Hitoshi, for your kind remarks. I am using OnStepX with river 1.0.23 (or 1.0.23. 1.0.24 is not working for me). A4988 chip has nEN, but all Stepstick ha EN. Correct me if I am wrong. Now my

Wow that sounds great! Thanks so much, I will try it out.

A higher-level controller that most people use may help to stop the mount quickly. In Ekos for instance, I always have the virtual hand controller up that has a red Stop button, it works quite well. I

The Wiki is all organized and will help you narrow down the type of build you want to do. https://onstep.groups.io/g/main/wiki This one is very popular. With LV8729 drivers you do not need the extra w

Hello, would there be any documented way to get a second ascom driver for onstep, to run 2 mounts via USB connection on the same PC?

Download the latest version of OnStep and reflash MCU and SHC.

Hi, Just updated the SGPro to the latest version and was surprised by not starting the application. It stops at the "Loading configuration" moment. In SGPro forum have found the same issue. The guy ju

I posted earlier about go- to going too far. This was resolved for DEC axis when I found a GT2. pully. which was in a package as 16 tooth was really 20. Now a different problem: RA tracks at correct r

I'm also an Onstep new user with a CG4 mount. Before Onstep I was using RduinoScope with gear ratio of 3 on both RA and DEC with Nema 17 200 steps. I noticed the DEC always has an error of about 2, 3

P.S. I think the best way I have found to get to the hidden dialogs is to hit F11 to put Stellarium in a window and then drag it out of the way so it is still the foreground process but at least you c

I can't speak for ASCOM since I don't use Windows. What I was saying is that you only have to do this only once ever for a stationary mount. You don't even need the Android app. You just need a laptop

I tried out the Wemos CNCV3 controller indoors today after attaching it to the mount. Couple of observations: 1. With the ASCOM connection, I need to press Reset each time for the OnStep to get connec

Not sure why this isn't working for you but you might want to try the following in the ASCOM setup dialog: Once the connection attempt fails, select the empty/blank entry in the "Port" list box. Then

Can you list what controller do you have? Teensy, ESP32, Arduino Mega etc.. By default, mount will not start tracking until you do alignment. So if you're using just Stellarium and ASCOM, there is no

Can be because of many reasons: - Steps per degree calculation is wrong. - Ratio for GR1 or GR2 is wrong. - Mismatch between microsteps in Config.h and microsteps in jumpers. - Trying to use MICROSTEP

Hi Simons, Thanks for your prompt answer! I have tried that too. Actually no SGP nor PHD2 will work if I leave device hub open background..

Some users have two OTA's (I will probably do this at some point) and three focusers isn't out of the question. Some might want to use "focusers" to automate collimation. On a newtonian that's minimum
