[SOLD] Zwo eaf-a

Stonius (Markus) · #1 13-09-2022, 01:25 AM

Selling my EAF. Comes with the hand-controller for computer free use. I got it then decided to upgrade my focuser anyway. Used two or three times.

I did mill one of the holes in the bracket slightly wider for my setup (pictured).

Does not come with temperature gauge (ZWO sell them for $10).

New about $367 AUD plus shipping

Will take $240 plus shipping.

Hi Markus,

Is this the earlier version that requires a 12V power adaptor?

Thank you for reminding me. Yes it is. I will include it in the sale.

Shame, because I already have one of those and I was hoping that it was the one that can run from USB power alone.

It does do that. The motor works on USB 5V. The converter goes from 12V to 5V USB.
If you want it to run on 5V USB, just omit the converter

I could be wrong, but my interpretation of the text bellow, from he ZWO website, is that the the 12V supply is required for the older version:

Compared to the old version of the EAF focuser, the main change of the 5V EAF is to eliminate the need for a 12V power supply port. Now you can directly connect it to your camera, laptop or ASIAIR PRO via the USB 2.0 port and use a cable for both data transmission and power supply! This makes the cable management much easier, as well as reducing the need for additional power outlets.

Then I guess I have the newer version then. It only has a USB port on back.

Argh! I just realised that little 12-5V converter came with my ASI-AIR, not the EAF, so I can't include it with the sale as it serves no purpose.
Sorry for the confusion

Sent a PM to purchase.

OK then looks like I missed out on this one.
