Well I finally got the electronics and most of the hardware completed and tested for my EK box. I am currently ALT 10000CPR and 10000CPR for AZ although the gear has provided 23000CPR for AZ.
It took some time because I wanted to completely re-design the concept and that was to have all the components removable if i decided to sell the scope. Well that part worked well too.
Finally I was able to get accurate readings using a USB to Serial converter as well so I can connect it to my USB port.
I still have more to do as I have designed it to be upgradable without major modifacation to the hardware. My first design was based on a single board but I am now going to work on a Motherboard / Sub-board design so if i wish to upgrade I don't need to change the whole box.
It is nice to get a DIY project to work, and without too much hassle as well.
