28-Dec-2018 Major update to firmware 175. Significant speed increases and reductions in memory footprint.
// rewrite for oled
// introduce half stepping to ULN2003
// major changes to commands and processing
// speed improvements
// code space reductions
// major changes to focuser struct
// rewrite temperature code
// Compatible with myFocuser ASCOM driver
// Compatible with myFocuser Application
// Compatible with Moonlite ASCOM driver and application
You need to first clear the EEPROM before reprogramming the controller [Tests/ClearEEPROM/ClearEEPROM.ino]

04th May 2019. I am in testing for an Android Bluetooth app for myFocuserPro. I expect this to be released soon, as well as a firmware update v176 for the myFocuserPro.

11th Jan 2020. I have updated the PDF to reflect the changes made in folder structure and PCB/Stripboards. There are now two new folders GERBERS PCB and STRIPBOARDS. If you wish to purchase a readymade PCB online for about $2 for 5 boards feom EasyEDA, you can use the Gerber file. Instructions are in that folder and the new PDF. If you wish to make your own board or use a Stripboard layout, refer to the STRIPBPOARDS folder.

Note: These are the same PCB that are used with the myFocuserPro2 project.
Please be aware that these boards, when used with the myFocuserPro firmware, may not support all the options available on the PCB. You should NOT fit options such as HPSW [home position switch] and STPWR [stepper power] if programming these boards with myFocuserPro firmware (v1xx) as the firmware does not support these options and adding the components to the PCB is a waste of time and components.
