Could you kindly explain further this uProcessor? Does this need to be computer controlled via a laptop? Ideally I would like all the electronics mounted on the underside of the barn door mount for ex tra portability
No, it could be self-contained unit, no need for computer, battery powered.


It is a /uProcessor that generates necessary signals for stepper motor, and the rate is determined by crystal oscillator - which means it is accurate enough (actually more than enough) for this mount.

This is what I have done:
