Dome Automation

Seems to be coming along well Michael! Drop me an email if I can be of any help.

Great work, looks like it's all coming together.

Cheers for posting the progress shots, makes for an interesting read.

I now have the relays for both the rotation and the shutter working.
I can now get the rotation moving with both the hand controller and the PC ascom controller.
Two things left now:
1) getting the azimuth controller working so that the PC knows how far and in what direction the dome has rotated. The wiring is all done (my version of it fanyway - if just doesn't work!)
2) need to get the wiring on the dome roof to work with the main relays.
Nearly there....one step at a time...

So the revision is going well then?

Ha! Yea, helps to break up the tedious nature of the study. However, haven't done much since Friday as I'm coming down with a bit of a cold and the temps outside don't help.

looking good Michael, it makes for an interesting project.
did this kit not come with instructions of what to wire where ?
