Hello Robert,
I have been using a DIY myFocuser2 for several years on my Moonlight/SkyWatcher combination. Love it! My new ham radio hobby addition is a magnetic loop antenna tuned by a vacuum variable capacitor. This requires not many revolutions, but very small increments of tuning. I am planning to use the myFP2ESP unit due to its ability to access the tuning mechanism more reliably than BT (antenna is outdoors and greater than 20meters distant. The satisfaction over the years with myFocuser2 makes we want another Robert Brown device.
I expect to use my astronomy programs (SequencerPro) to adjust the antenna: instead of different settings for various RGB etc filters, I expect to use settings appropriate for different bands and radio frequencies.
My interest is in obtaining (purchasing) anFP2ESP system as soon as possible. Beta would be fine if the basic functions (up, down, speed control, wiring for a NEMA17 stepper) are working.
Please let me know the earliest you would be able to provide me a complete working unit with software for Windows 8.1 .
Thank you for considering my request, and again, keep up the great work you do.

email me direct please, addres in in the firmware file of myfocuserpro2 and we can discuss
28-Sep-2019.
Firmware v100 released. Added libraries, documentation, etc
Changed status from Beta to stable
