GS-280 hand controller - possibly replace with PC and software?
G'day. Over Christmas I got an old EQ mount up and running. It's about an EQ3 I think, but no labels on it. It has a simple RA motor and this GS-280 hand controller that just has forward and backward direction buttons, and you can toggle through 1x, 2x, and 4x sidereal rates. The connection to the motor is a lot like a PS2 type keyboard connection.
I'm wondering if there's some software that can emulate the controller, and if I can get a USB cable with PS2 jack on the other end and plug it into the controller? Maybe a bit of DIY, but not sure where to start? Any ideas?
