myESP32S3-N16R8 Focus Controller
Hi I have completed the TZT, TADPT, CDLSU boards. Only the TMC board is left. I have not as yet run any of the new firmware and still need to update the User Guides. The completed boards should be available in a few days, as soon as the TMC board is done. That then means the PDF User Guide 1 will be completed at that time. Then its on to firmware tests and completing the screen-shots, abd User Guide part 2. Regards Robert

myESP32S3-N16R8 Focus Controller
20-Feb-2026 I ran into a roadblock whilst exploring some future changes and to avoid those clashes I had to go back and test all boards. To cut a very long story short, all board designs have changed. I have finished TWO of the FOUR board designs, am now starting on the last TWO. Its given me the opportunity to think about how to do things better, simpler and smarter. The firmware of course needs to be tested again, and the documentation and pdf and test programs, Its like starting all over again....

myESP32S3-N16R8 Focus Controller
08-Feb-2026 Today I have finished the esp32dev updates, and tomorrow will start on the port of the Alpaca Server for this project. As all the code has been done and tested, am hoping that there will be few issues arising from the port. This port of Alpaca, and the update of the PDF (which covers Alpaca) are the only remaining items currently outstanding. regards Robert

Hi all The changes to the Alpaca Server are taking much longer than I had thought. And it looks like I will need to do much more that a simple fix. I have TWO choices. Continue on with the rewrite of the Alpaca Server, or just park it with one could be okay - passes conform without errors but has a small number of issues (which does not prevent it working with NINA etc. I will think about that over the next few days Regards Robert

reply "But this does not work because OptionState is always initialized as Option_pushbtn_joystick in the first static declaration." I think you misunderstand what "static" means.

Arduino ASCOM Focuser Pro2 DIY
You cant buy a small car with 1.2L engine and expect it to compete at the traffic lights against a V8 chevy. The Arduino nano is a very small not so fast chip. Its like the 1.2L engine. There is not enough space in a small mini car to fit 10 people (ignoring the yahoo videos on this subject). But with a much bigger car... more people! (I have owned in the past both a souped mini cooper -damn fun car, as well as a chevy V8 - absolute rocket of a machine-and at traffic lights I can say that even a...
