I bought a Dome Rotation Motor ( accessory) with my NexDome
It mounted to one of the uprights and has a gear wheel which drives the Dome around via a rubber strip with gear teeth double sided taped around the Dome. The NexDome solid state controller box has a manual rocker switch on the outside for clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. It also has a USB port for connection to your computer so you can use Voyager software to control your Dome. I just extended the rocker switch wires ( 3 off ) common , clockwise and anti clockwise down to my custom control box. I have an isolator so I can only use the manual switch and not my control system together.
