Back in town.
Pat, I can make the Kp parameter adjustable but the PID autotuning in the firmware will be difficult. Also we are not using the full PID but only the P (proportional) part and the standard autotune code won't work.
I will investigate doing autotuning from the PC, it may be easier. Or perhaps also adding the integral part? Can't see much advantage in doing this though as proportional seems to do the job well.
Few clarifications about the firmware:
1. My firmware is backwards compatible with the old versions of the viewer or the ASCOM driver. I only added new options but did not modify any of the old code (apart from the cooling).
2. Original Grim's firmware will NOT work with the new ASCOM driver as it is missing all the additions.
When I get free time I will put the driver on the Github and post on the Ukrainian forums. Grim/Faddy did not comment about any more bugs so I think we are ready.
