With just a few euros you can buy an "open source" kit like Arduino Uno, and a step-by-step engine with its hardware drive board:
Scheda Arduino Uno |
Motore Passo Passo 28BYJ-48-5V |
After connecting everything as the diagram you must connect the Arduino Uno board to the PC via USB cable and through the Arduino Ide program you must transfer the firmware to the Arduino Uno board.
Then:
1) Open the Arduino Ide program
2) Connect the Arduino Uno card
3) Open the MoonliteFocuser Arduino firmware (download here)
4) On Arduino Ide with the MoonliteFocuser firmware open click on the upload at the top left to load it on the Arduino Uno board.
At this point the Arduino Board has loaded all the features and the kit is now a focuser compatible with the Moonlite Focuser.
It is sufficient to download the software for using Moonlite Focuser (download here)
To focus on this interface, you will use this interface:

It is also possible to download the Ascom drivers at this link: https://focuser.com/downloads.php
The circuit must be inserted in a plastic box for circuits:
To be installed then simply connect the pinion of the stepper motor to the focuser's pulley in this mode:
you can have a loot at nema 23 motor or nema 42 motors at this site, Cheap! very cheap!
