Smart Steppers.
I likewise have some of the Bigtree Tech S42B drivers. I have not had time to test or configure them. Please post your tests and results!

That will depend on the design of stepper bracket you are using. I suggest getting a variety of sizes. I would get 138 to 160 teeth. The assortment can save you a lot of time and trouble, particularly

Automatic Telescope Cover - WiFi - 3D Printed - $25 (DIY)
Great work. Glad the scope is behaving well. I will definitely be interested in your "tweaking". Are you going to have an automated weather/cloud system to automate (make weather safe) the roof?

Project Onstep on mount EQ-Sky / Astro-3
That temperature will be higher when they are in the boxes. Still I don't think it will be an issue. PLA does not do well outdoors. Both are just things to watch.

Very good work. My only comment would be to watch the steppers for heating since it is a fully enclosed box. Most likely will not be an issue. What type 3D filament did you use?

STM32F303 Humidity and Wifi question..
Unfortunately that was my experience also. Worth a try. I think a small droplet gets into the sensor, so it may come back over time.

If I am not mistaken the "Init Weather" line indicates that the BME280 is up and running.

MaxESP3 esp32s wifi config.
If I understand the question correctly it is "why isn't wifi implimented on the main OnStep ESP32 chip?" The reason is that this chip has the BT classic interface. WiFi and BT classic do not play toge

It is not that. It is a specific implementation for the use of a specific ESP32 which can be used in place of the Wemos D1 ESP8266. The code is to implement a specific ble GamePad only. It is experime

My 16" dob with Onstep
I myself thinks these two are contradictory. A properly designed and setup fiction drive has no backlash and also no slippage, the two go hand in hand. I am fascinated with the idea of friction drives

My experience says this is how you mess up the humidity sensor. Try the rice/dehumid packet trick and don't blow into it!

You might try setting DEBUG VERBOSE in the OnStep.ino file. Then monitor the terminal on startup. There will be a line that verifies the IC2 and chip initialization. You can look at the Status page of

Sounds like you may have a BMP280 which does not have a humidity sensor. Try setting it up as a BMP280 and see if the pressure reads correctly. It may also just be a failed chip. I destroyed one by br

How to START in Full Dual Axis + Refraction compensation mode
Sounds like V_Quiet. I think it would be useful to list the implications so that we can include it in a future "How to".

Spiral search change slew speed
As always, thank you for your prompt response. I am doing some mechanicals on my mount but will test the new code soon. I don't use the beta so I also will be testing the master. Does it allow speed c

Try: #define AXIS1_DRIVER_REVERSE ON first, it sounds like the RA drive is backwards.

Pictures! Belt tension is usually not a factor unless it is too tight or loose. Timing belts are very forgiving since the force is transferred on the tooth "face". The exception to this is if the worm
