I have installed a robofocus on my Tak TOA130F, mechanically all is good. However somehow I have totally stuffed up trying to calibrate the in and out settings of the focuser, now the stepper motor runs, but the damn focuser aint moving. I realise that this this focuses in very fine increments, but when training the thing to recognise the full movement in and out of the focuser it should move full speed. I have just about torn my hair out here, and getting no where.

Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers
Pete

I found the problem I did not have the clutch anywhere near nipped up enough and the motor was just driving itself through the clutch without moving the focuser. Thanks for the replies....:D

Hi Pete
glad you got it sorted, I would not have been much help anyway, never had a Robo, just the F/T.
