Today I got around to put together SharpSky kit I received from Dave few days earlier. Kit now include larger stepper motor and pre-made Mini DIN leads. Real bonus for me as my hands is not steady as it used to be and I don’t see that well. In no time PCB was finished although I did more guess then see, where I solder. But then I got over 45 years experience in repairing and manufacturing electronics. On power up everything worked as it should. I decided not to use LEDs except the heart beat one. My scope and mount already resembles a Christmas tree and I did not want to add more flashing lights. All what remains to finish it off is to manufacture focuser bracket. But it is very hot in my tin garden shed I use for mini workshop. Maybe tomorrow. The kit is one of the best I have ever seen and recommended to anyone who wants remote focuser control.
