Vladimir, Thank you for sharing the details. Took me two weeks until I came back to it and read it all. Well done ... And it is now in the showcase page.

The BluePill PCB already has a USB to TTL converter: the CP2102 module, so you do not need another one. And the microUSB port on the CP2102 should be the ONLY place you plug a microUSB cable in, wheth

The screen shots are barely readable, so won't go through them. Text is readable on all devices and most eyes. Images are not. The idea here is not to get a final configuration from the get go. It is

The issue here is that there are changes from one version to the next, and carrying over values from an older version may not work for certain seldom changed parameters. You do have some of those, fro

And use a freshly downloaded Config.h, so all values are default except for the pinmap, and axis1/axis2 parameters. That way, we know that you are on known good defaults, and what you are seeing is no

I spent almost a year trying to chase this exact same thing: some frames will be perfect, others will show trails. Here is an example post from 2018 (unfortunately, because people keep posting large a

I don't have much to add here ... But I have a few observations: - I am surprised by this problem report, since I have never seen anyone reporting it before. Usually, when someone hits a wrong limit,

I liked it too. It was my main desktop for almost a decade. Then they started hiding things, which beats the whole idea of KDE being customizable. I switched to Xubuntu (XFCE4) and never looked back.

I don't see enough curvature in your star trails to think it is anything other than polar alignment. There can be many reasons for what you are seeing. The most common one is polar alignment, and a po

I agree with all of what you said above. Actually, we have one of these that has been working well for many users. It is the FYSETC S6 3D printer board. I ported OnStep to it, and with SPI drivers (TM

You don't need Kubuntu for this. Just use Xubuntu, which is lighter. If you are running KStars on the on-scope box, then what will the Windows PC be doing? Just a remote desktop?

Unfortunately, this module has been scarce from the beginning, with the pandemic chip supply making it worse.

I agree with this. We have not seen any Sharpstar employees engaging in the community. So we may end up with a significant number of people seeing the SHC logo, searching Google and ending up here, wh

Tomas, I also support the "try what you have, before changing the design". We have many people using 6mm belts, and they work fine, even for larger mounts. So using 9mm is only theoretically better, n

The fact that widely used imaging software packages already have support for dome management, makes this a low priority item. As you said KStars has that feature, and ASCOM too. There is also Howard's

You already have pulleys and belt in your pictures on both axes. Are these working? You probably described them in previous messages, but I missed it. What are the ratios for them? My point is: they m

GR1 and GR2 are two stages of gear reduction. I only gave an example for one stage. On other Dobsonian mounts, there is usually a gearbox in the motor (it is not clear to me if you will do that, think

Tomas, I can't read the screenshot either. Posting text is better because it can be read on any display. But I can see that GR1 and GR2 have triple-digits in them. Note that they are RATIOs not number

Tomas, Thanks for sharing your build. I added it to the showcase page on the Wiki.

Yes, it is legal. That is how your Android phone, your router, and probably your phone (if it is Android) all work with Linux inside them. The GPL license grants anyone the Four Freedoms which are the
