The Seletek LIMPET is the smallest and most recent Seletek.  With a small 12V battery and a WiFi interface, no cables are required to control your focuser!

Even your smartphone or your computer’s web browser can alternatively control a focuser and camera rotator with Lunatico Windows software and ASCOM installed.

Features include:

  • Very small enclosure
  • Central hole to easily attach the Limpet to the telescope using a single screw
  • WiFi and USB connection
  • Very low power requirements (30mA idle connected to WiFi, 530mA focusing with our standard motor)
  • Optional external WiFi antenna needed if the WiFi signal is weak (not required if the WiFi access point is in the observatory)
  • Optional external temperature sensor
  • All the time-proven Seletek Armadillo and Platypus software will work with it. Just one device at any time.
  • Including a screw locking 2.1x 5.5mm jack for safe attachment of power cable

  • ASCOM, INDIGO and INDILib enabled
  • Focus from your smartphone via web interface (NEW!)

With the Limpet you can:

  • Control one focus motor
  • Control one rotator motor
  • With our free program “PinByPin“: independent control of any controller pin, manual or automated (depending on temperature delta), useful not only for
  • Fan control or dew heater bands, as used by the ZeroDew system.
  • Control of the VSI’s “Zerotator”, or the Astrodon “TAKometer”
  • “Seletek à la carte” allows you to customize your Seletek (original or Armadillo or Limpet) to match you specific needs

And in the next future…

  • Optional physical limit switches
  • ASCOM Alpaca (inside)

Technical specifications:

  • Focuser and rotator motor controller
  • Outputs: 4 power digital outputs (up to 1.5A) – thermal auto-shutdown of the drivers in case of overheating
  • Inputs: 3 analogical-digital inputs (1 for the temperature external sensor, 2 protected with resettable fuses)
  • PC connection via USB and WiFi
  • Size: 70 * 70 * 26 mm
  • Weight: <85 gr.
  • External power supply 12V dc (13.8V, as supplied by some batteries, is valid)
