Look at "SGL Observatory Automation" on Yahoo groups as they have the Sketch for the Arduino and also the ASCOM links as well as a stand alone gui which is good.
You will have to join the group to get it though.
Hope this helps.
Hi Nico13,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I joined the group an using the software there I now have an Arduino Controlled stepper based focuser working through Ascom. Much more torque and it is strong enough to lock the scopes focuser in place with all my gear on it.
