Brendan/Bram,

The decision re temperature sensor wiring depends a lot on where you intend to mount the sharpsky. For my original unit I've got the controller in a box below the mount with the power supply and usb hubs. I just have a long cable running from the controller to the stepper. This way I end up with 4 cables running to the moving part of the mount - 2 USB (imaging and guide cam), 12V for imaging cam and stepper cable. I've always kept the imaging and guide cams on seperate USB's all the way back to the computer as DSI never liked playing with other devices. In my case I stick the temp sensor on the leg of the tripod.
