The Computer program that drives the Gemini controller has a focus controller using the Meade protocol.
This control is available at the Gemini from the feature socket. However a focus control board will need to be obtained to interface the focuser.
It may be simpler to build your own controller. The Meade focuser receives polarised 12v pulses from the handbox/processor via the phone jack on the control panel.
