A lot of the code is about the PC GUI that I've shown in previous screenshots in this thread. All up it is about 1000 lines of visual basic code. It also generates a text file that the generic Ascom driver reads to create an interface to image control software like SGP.
Ahhh. Thanks for explaining. Thought the arduino code might have been larger, but sounds like VB is where most of the magic is happening.
