Never mind, i'm candidate for bugs and crashes LOL , ok just tell me when i can test OCS3 !

It's very much a work in progress at this point, lots of bugs, so you should wait for a little while still.

Hi, i'm currently at the 2.3i version and I'm a candidate to the new version 3, i'll try the update tommorrow and let you know. Always a pleasure to test the latest improvements Thank you for ALL

Howard, I am happy that your project is top notch. I look forward to buying a board, as it looks like the most professional design (hardware) I've seen! My current plan is to get a simpler Arduino uno

I've started work on the OCS update, it's on Github as the master branch. The last stable OCS is now release-2.3 and the default branch, which is a good thing as this new version 3 of the OCS will

Ok for analog inputs changes, very good ! I confirm the Teensy 4.1 is cheaper than the 3.6, i was surprised about that, it is on the way as well as the w5500. Ok for the green connectors with screws

OCS.ino file has... const volatile sense_t sense[] { { 0, INPUT, HIGH}, // not used {22, INPUT, HIGH}, // Sense 1: pin#, initialize, ON state {24, INPUT, HIGH}, // Sense 2: pin#, initialize,

Hi Howard Could you tell me what I have to do to turn on the pullups on the digital input pins? I don't know how to do it and if that change can be made. Thank you

To be honest the T3.5 is more than fast enough and appeals as it's 5v tolerant and a little cheaper than the other options. The 3.6 is overkill, and the 4.1 is much faster still (many times) but it

So 3 different MCU, great ! I saw a part on the PCB with 2 unprotected Analog in. I suppose i would use those for the Wind and Anenometer sensors, in my case i'm going to use 2 hot wire anenometers so

I just modified the design a little, so the Teensy4.1 should also work.

Same as OnStep uses. Cheaper yes. More powerful than a T3.6 is debatable. The 3.6 is much faster. The 3.5 is about as fast. The ESP32 downside is the lack of pins, that can be worked around by

Hi all, After reading...not just skimming the posts...I realize that the OCS still runs on the old hardware, but the new hardware is much more capable. I have invested in the sensors for the Arduino,

Howard, here are some words around this new OCS design : Great ! i built the W500 component with a Teensy 3.2 this year for the Maxpcb in Onstep, it is very compact and works fine, is it the same than

I'm not aware of any, but it would be a neat thing to have.

Oops mistake, I just received my Arduino and accessories. For a layman, can someone provide a Google searches l parts list for the new OCS (Howard thanks for taking this up again..I will donate

Same footprint and mounting holes as the prior board. I'll sleep on the design for a little while then order and build one for testing, this will take a while but I will make it available.

Absolutely incredible ! but I was expecting a real revolution on OCS from you ! Is the PCB smaller in size than the older one ? Is it avalaible in Easyeda ? It’s a rapid answer from my cellular,

Other improvements vs. the prior designs (for those who have seen them:) Screw terminals are used instead of Molex KK. Big easy to read silkscreen text that doesn't get covered by wires when they are

As I said I am thinking about working on the OCS software again, a similar treatment to what has happened to OnStep. At the same time I'd also like to update my observatory controller and this is the
