Dave, Can I have the SHC, please? How do I pay you? Prasad

One more question. WeMOS D1 Mini Pro has a little push button near a corner. What is its function? Do I need to press it at certain point? Thanks -Prasad

My MiniPCB2 was working well for more than a year before when it had some earlier version of the main OnStep software and WiFi. This problem began only when I tried updating the main firmware to v4.24

It is "LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 miniPRO" -Prasad

I have a problem, probably some error on my part. Please help. Is there a way to query/monitor a WeMOS D1 Mini Pro with if my flashing (of WeMOS D1 Pro) went well? I have flashed one a few times as pe

Ken Guy is 100% on the mark. I was there when Guy removed all the balancing weights on the RA axis. The DEC axis has no load at all. In this condition, I have tried to turn the worm that drives the RA

Where can I buy a MiniPCB v2? Anyone? -Prasad

Ken We have done precisely that. It was rather easy to rotate the drive shaft of the main gear by hand but it got tight at certain places. The Ealing mount has not been operated for a while and the wo

Paul I don't know the motor inductance but I do know the driving voltage as 18 Vdc. However, the microstep setting as suggested by Khalid should be tried. -Prasad

Khalid GR1 is really 20:1. 10 was wrong. I was there at Hopewell with Guy and Alan when we measured the ratio by counting the teeth. Guy, please try changing the microsteps to 32 or 64 and let us see

I am very surprised to see this video of what appears to be a commercial mount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg6y2YU6wFc&ab_channel=SharpstarOptics Is this legal? It just popped up on my YouTube li

Thanks, Geo, I will order it on Amazon. Yes, I finally did find the write-up on flashing in the WiKi but no success so far. This should work, hopefully. -Prasad

I want to upgrade the WiFi firmware on my MiniPCB V1 and I am lost/confused. The tiny little WiFi card that sits on the 5x2 headers does not have a micro-USB port. I searched SWS wiki page and got eve

This lead is also great. I have not bought anything from Aliexpress though. -Prasad

Yes, this is perfect. Thanks -Prasad

Barry Here is a photo of the cable. I was searching for the kind of cables used by Losmandy and I got a few of these cables. They seem to work quite well in cold weather. Somewhat like Losmandy and I

The whole idea is to make use of the coiled cables that come ready with RJ45 male at both ends. AND, I do not want to cut the RJ45 connector on the cable. On my first OnStep project I used military-gr

Recently, with the help of someone on this group, I was able to find the coiled cable with 8 cores and rj45 male connectors at both ends. Is there a source that sells panel mount variety female RJ45 c

Can someone please tell me if this TMC2130 will work? I want to use them on a mini-PCB V2. Thank you Prasad

Hi Mark I did some more research on the cables. Digikey cables are of only two types - Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). or Polypropylene (PP). Both are not the best (no, Digikey site does not say this) for l
