Hi Mike, Yes, the main issue with backlash seems to be on the altitude axis. I probably will move it to a closer location at some point, but I have 3 different opportunities for campouts to dark sky s

hi Burton, I wrote some thoughts on this in your post about backlash adjustment. Re: OnStep with Sky Safari (groups.io) -Mike

The lack of enough pins on certain boards forces compromises: you can have one feature or the other, but not both. In this case, LED_STATUS2 and BUZZER use the pin designated by Aux8. You can't have a

I've adjusted the best I can for now (both the 3 screws and end-play). I attempted to set backlash during daytime at 8x speed. Counted seconds until I detected movement. Figured each second at 8x is 1

Hi all, I just designed and printed a Front cover for the MaxPCB that houses the BME280. It works. Here are the STL files. Sorry to ask probably trivial questions, I'm a newbie at using current astron

Hi Biggs, I don't think you can mix gear & belt types successfully. The pitch is wrong so the belt won't fit correctly into the teeth and the bending radius will likely differ. I think that's what you

Yes, from the point of view of imaging scale is perfect. The only problem is that the 40D is very noisy and a little blind to reds ;). Yesterday I've made some test with the backlash compensation insi

Yes this is a limitation fort the D1R32. Mine gave me 4.4V at open circuit that drops to 4.2V when running a WeMos D1 Mini, a pair of LEDs and a passive buzzer. But the WeMos D1 Mini is definitively r
