"Scopefocus" arduino rotator

Hello all
After having a go at making my own arduino rotator a couple of years ago I hit a roadblock with not being able to make it ASCOM compatible so I couldn't use it within SGP's automated framing.

So I built this one designed by Kevin Sipprell.

This one is ascom and works well with SGP (although I haven't had a weather opportunity to try properly yet).
Video of mine here

In the video the rotator was being controlled via SGP.

Very happy with it and a big thanks to Kevin Sipprell for his help.

Cheers
Jeremy
