Astrocookie Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi Just a quick one!!! Does anyone know the current requirements of a dual axis motor system on an eq5 mount? I'm planning on building a field power supply and was contemplating what kind of regulator to use to create a 6v output from the 12v leisure battery to drive the motors Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glider Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 My Synscan Pro draws 1.5 to 2.0A on fast slew in both axis at the same time. I'd cater for 4A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 (edited) I think my supply is 3A I got it from Maplins and has been spot on with the eq5.
