+Graham Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Hi all. I am looking for someone who can build me a couple of Sound stepper driver boards. I thought about doing it my self but the circuit drawings are more than a little baffeling to say the least. This is a link to the page. http://soundstepper.sourceforge.net/#contact Thanks Graham Edited October 12, 2018 by Daz Type-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Is it not something you can buy of the shelf from a specialised shop Graham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Now I do have some boards here that i used on a CNC mill I made years ago. Now trying to find out if I can drive those with the sound card on my pc. If I can then problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 Well I have sorted out my control problem. I have purchased one of these. It is an AstroEQ board and a couple of pre-programmed chips. Total cost £12.70 including P&P. I have to get all the rest of the bits , resistors, caps and a couple of motor driver boards but total cost will be less than £50.00. The good thing is this set up has been designed to talk directly to EQMOD Once built I will be able to run any scope in EQMOD.

+Graham Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Just ordered in all the components from Farnell. Ordered the 2 motor driver boards in from Amazon yesterday so they will be here today. Just got to put it together now. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 Large box arrived from Farnell today. Not much in it they could have used a large Jiffy bag really. All that remains is for me to transform this large array of bits into a circuit board. Now where did I put that soldering iron. ?

Bottletopburly Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 At least if you run into problems using AstroeEQ there is more likely someone in the Astro community that will have the answers ? +Graham 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Should not have any problems. Once connected via ascom I can run the scope through maxim as per normal. But you are correct the guy who's project this is is just an email away. Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Last couple of bits arrived from Farnell today so I can now put this together. ? Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
