OnStep controller and SHC

I upgraded my OnStep controllers to the Fysetc S6 to add more functions, so these are now surplus. Had the parts so made up extra SHC's too. Everything works - you just need to add stepper motors.

It's set up for Alt/Az and you can now change your gearing without reflashing (just via your phone) so conversion should be easy.

What's included:
  • STM32 blue-pill controller. I comfortably slew at 3deg/sec on my dob.
  • TMC2209 UART drivers (very quiet and you can control current, steps, direction via web server rather than re-flashing)
  • WiFi (smart web server). Allows remote control via planetarium software / smartphone.
  • Buzzer
  • Tracking LED
  • Smart Hand Controller.
$190 + postage.
