So I’ve hit a roadblock. I can make a 9 tooth gear but it just isn’t strong enough. Just keeps snapping. So I’ve ordered a pair of 9tooth gears from Rowan engineering in uk. About 18 pounds a piece. I’m on holidays as of Thursday so hopefully they get here before I go back to work in a month.
In light of this setback, I’ve constructed an Arduino based electric focuser. About 90 percent done. Just a bit of mounting and should be sweet.
