Ah if it need mains power the it is no good for me
I have been doing more research into the linear stepper motion controller in this link I posted:

It does not require an external PC apparently, and just need to be programmed once to my needs. I would just need to find an suitable stepper motor and a power supply.
This seems like a very similar project all be it with a more advanced mount:

what do you make of this? Seems like it will be very accurate and a reasonable price, and it would be nice to build the circuit kit as it comes un-assembled.
I had a look at the links you posted, seems like you have had some nice results with your projects
