Hi Matthew,
Someone asked a similar question regarding Meade focuser recently.
I think the answer is no it will not work for what you want.
Reason being the Meade focuser uses a DC motor that simply moves one way or the other with no reference points so you cannot goto a specific point. Yes many controllers can make the Meade focuser operate, (travel in and out), but the issue is how the focuser works.
Go the Moonlite or similar, they are built for the purpose you have. Stepper motors are the way to go.
Cheers,
Damien.
