I am very interest in this project (Dobsonian Goto Mount) are you willing to share? I am not interest in commercial use just for myself. I have spenyt days scouring the web and I love the way it interfaces with Stellarium. It seems so smooth. Would appreciate any assistance you can share. I intend to make it control my Skywatcher 8″ dobsonian. Thanks.
Hi Ismael,
Thanks for your comments, I’ll sort the source code out and put it up for viewing, keep in mind its a bit rough as still work in progress. The stepper motors are still stepping a little too rough to get a long exposure with the camera on the telescope but its fine for looking or if I use my Canon EOS L-Series lens with image stabiliser on instead of the telescope then it tracks fine.
I’m planning to upgrade the stepper circuit to allow me a finer microstepping so I get smoother movement and more accuracy.
I’ll also sort a rough circuit schematic and put that up too.
