I have a Freetronic "Eleven" board which is 100% Arduino compatible, basically the same as the Uno board. Can the Stepper controller be modified to suit this board? I also use the Easydriver board for stepper control.

I just took the moonlite thing to mean it could effectively emulate a moonlight focuser. But I've not looked into it as I just run it as an ASCOM device. I don't see why it couldn't use a moonlite stepper motor though. You'd just have to work out which wire is which.
I also don't see why you couldn't use a Uno board instead of a nano. But nanos are only like $10 each. Just make sure you get the one with the right USB driver chip (I got the wrong one first time). It think it needs the CH340G chip?
