Robofocus. HELP!!!

I have installed a robofocus on my Tak TOA130F, mechanically all is good. However somehow I have totally stuffed up trying to calibrate the in and out settings of the focuser, now the stepper motor runs, but the damn focuser aint moving. I realise that this this focuses in very fine increments, but when training the thing to recognise the full movement in and out of the focuser it should move full speed. I have just about torn my hair out here, and getting no where.

Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers
Pete

I found the problem I did not have the clutch anywhere near nipped up enough and the motor was just driving itself through the clutch without moving the focuser. Thanks for the replies....

Hi Pete
glad you got it sorted, I would not have been much help anyway, never had a Robo, just the F/T.
