I am just in the planning stages of getting this build together. I purchased the PCB'd from JLCPCB which look fantastic, a real credit to Robert and JLCPCB for making a nice looking board, very professional. I am yet to read through all the PDF documentation, too many other life things going on at the moment so getting time to sit and read is a luxury. Slowly getting through it though. I still have to buy all the other stuff yet. I added a pic of the PCB's to show you how well they came out.
One thing I think I got right but not quite sure on is if I don't want a particular sensor on the device ie. the anemometer or wind vane. Then I don't add that in the firmware, is that right?
I plan on using this device as a condition monitor for my observatory, which will be located 120km from my home, and use the mysqmpro to keep an eye on cloud/rain etc. Along with Voyager Astronomy Software, Hopefully to close my observatory if it rains.
I look forward to putting this together. I have Roberts MYFocuserPro2 unit and it works great on the telescope. I plan on building the Dew heater controller also in the future.

Yes, you just comment out that define and all will be well.
We do have a beta group if you are interested in joining that. Drop me a personal email at gmail.com if interested.
