DIY focuser rotator Arduino based

Hi,
started looking into focuser rotators recently, but couldn't afford the pretty pricey options that are the commercial items.

Came upon this site:
http://www.scopefocus.info/home/rotator

Which has plans for a really low cost DIY build. Includes Arduino code and Ascom drivers. Originally designed for a Tak CAA, but concept easily adapted to other installations.

Have found the owner of the site really helpful with questions and suggestions.

Have all the bits on order now (under a hundred dollars)

Hope it's useful to others..

cheers
Gary
