DIY filter wheel assistance please!

I'm trying to convert a filter wheel to Arduino nano or RPi Pico control. I've successfully done this with an auto focuser so I'm confident I can eventually get it coded and working. I've made the mechanical changes already to an Orion FW.

I've tried a lot of different coding from various sources with no luck. Most want to integrate bells & whistles I'm not interested in.

Closest I've come is with code from http://www.astronomymark.com, which includes a separate GUI capability. His problem is that the code asks for a config.txt and filters.txt which he doesn't include.

I've had not luck finding a way to contact him about it so I've come to a halt there.

Ideally, I'd like to include ASCOM compliance but that isn't a deal breaker.

Any suggestions/solutions?

Thanks,

Neville
