The inclinometer connects to the EK box, then the EK conects to the PC. The Incl is a 10,000 step encoder fitted to a weight and damper to stop vibration and alway points verticle. This is why the inclinometer cannot be used for AZ application
.
The EK, although not fully tested I believe can work up to 65,000 steps but can believe that would need that much for a push to. The EK I currently use with ASCOM drivers to various applications.
I must admit the 5V regulator TO220 get quite warm so I believe there is little or no buffering on the PIC, instead communicates with the PC most or all the time.
