Fysetc E4 without Goto functions

Serge CLAUS
 

I would like to buy a Fysetc E4 board just for dew-heaters, focusers and intervalometer.
Is it possible to use OnStepX in this case? (no goto)

Edit:
It's not a good idea.
I can't use OneWire with the Fysetc E4 :-(
It's not possible to use SERIAL_TMC_RX for OnWire ?

Last question:
The TinyBee (https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-TinyBee) can work with OnStepX ?

Sure if you can work out the pinmap! It has 150 GPIO pins.

I have found a little card: MKS DLC32 (https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-DLC32)
I will use it for the focuser and the dewheater (mounted on the telescope to limit the number of cables) with OnStepX without goto.
And an ESP32/CNC3 card for OnStepX (for goto and SWS).
I currently have a Fysetc S6 (a lot of problems with the COM port).
On the other hand, I will have to compile a variant of indi-onstep which does not use the goto).

This card could also be used for a small complete OnStep setup with the choice of stepper drivers (I use S42b servos).
I ordered this card. More than to wait and test...

Klaus,

Using indi_lx200_OnStep as a base is not a good idea in my opinion even is at a first glance it could be.

Better to create a new Focuser Driver starting for example from the moonlite driver (it exposes T° and so).

If using OnStep as a base it might conflict with the Focuser exposed by the Telescope driver.

Anyhow, I am impatient to see your work in progress.

This board has possibly not supported serial shift register devices to serve as output only pins.  It can't mode switch StepSticks.  Its inflexible and not a good target of OnStepX.
