There is quite a lot going on with Voyager developments. It might not be up to ACP standard however there is this in the making:

Re the arduino project...take a look at this thread:

If you are interested in going down that path I have quite a bit of detail around my cloud model that I can share and there is also information on how some of the commercial units have approached this in the public domain if you know where to look. Funnily enough I stumbled across some work by Idso for mine and I later learned some of the commercial units went down a similar path.
I had not done any coding since Fortran in secondary school however you can teach an old dog new tricks...Google is your friend  Visual Studio and VB.net is pretty intuitive and I got some fantastic help from a fellow IIS member to resolve a nagging issue.

Thanks Peter,
The cloud sensor looks a bit beyond my capabilities, but interesting nonetheless.
As for that voyager thread, by predicting the best target to image at a certain time at night, they're halfway to what ACP Scheduler does.
One I was interested in implementing was having goals for a target, and automatically writing or adjusting a Voyager sequence to try to meet those goals within the time allowed by any given night. However, I decided to put that off for now as I assume that’d be a replication of what’s coming in Voyager Advanced.
I've seen a few comments like this one that suggest Voyager Advanced might be what I'm after for the school observatory.
