Hi: I'm hoping to build this project and will be driving a Moonlite focuser with the Moonlite high-res stepper motor. I'm interested in the ASCOM interface and using Sequence Generator Pro for auto focus. I'm confused by the many comments as to what's possible and not (V1 or V2, bipolar or unipolar, etc). Can you advise me on:
- which Arduino board
- which driver board(s) I don't have clear specs on the Moonlite stepper.
- which ASCOM Focuser Pro version (Pro or Pro2)
Thanks in advance
Doug MacDonald
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

Hi Doug
you can do either Pro or Pro2, but would recommend Pro2 (v2)
Driver board - L293D Mini
Arduino Nano
