My EQ6 projects continue forever.

I had a lot of problems with the hardware driver in the EQ6 mount. There is some bug in the driver I had understand, that's why there is a RA drift compensation in EQMOD. With my custom gear ratio this problem got worse. Now I decided to replace the original driver with an external driver. I already have an AstroEQ driver that I want to test.

I need some space where to place it, I have here started 3D-print a new lid for the EQ6 mount:

I have also ordered some connectors and cables to make adaptercables between the RJ11 6/4 to the JST connector that the stepper motors have.
