Hello Jeremy,

Brendan is 100% correct.

SharpSky is pin compatible with MoonLite focus motors.

I decided early on in the design to make the D-type connection pin compatible. You may need to adjust the period per step setting in ASCOM setup window. I would start at a value of 8ms/step and then adjust to taste. If the value is too low the motor may skip steps and if the value is too large the motor will simply be slow. You may also need to tweak the backlash value to suit the MoonLite motor.

Brendan do you have some suitable values for Jeremy ?

Let us/me know how you get on.

Cheers,

Dave
