Im running off a 13.8v bench supply in the observatory but knocking it back to 12v with the attached image as the previous set up, learnt the hard way last time and smoked the board :) i dont have any capacitors hence the solderless set up but no worries Robert, i can still work around the focusing without the remote, i dont want to waste more of your time on this, you have been more than enough help, if i purchase another in future i can always refer back to this to set up printin statements have...

Are these any good ?

Morning Robert, ive included the txt for the remote presses, ive done 15 presses of "-" the same for "+" then a set alternating as you mentioned above, as for not working the motor does not move, also no indication in the status messages of the windows app although not sure if it would or not? i have inserted the serial.println statements and reprogrammed but nothing at all showing in serial monitor, as im not receiving anything at all i ran the windows app to see if it would fail to at least tell...

Thanks Robert, i tried again this morning and noticed a few random numbers coming up on the remote test, if it isn't me thats totally knackered it up maybe a dodgy remote kit?

I have ran the test and receive exactly as below... Receive code=-260652741 for - Receive code=-1547112997 for + so if i change the case number 16769055 to 260652741 as below, uncomment INFRARED at Definable features and update the controller? case 260652741: // '-' IN -50 FAST adjpos = -50; motorSpeed = 2; updatemotorSpeedDelay(); break; Well i know im missing something for sure as it doesn't work for me :)

I think im on the last leg now Robert, all checks out, stepper is doing what its supposed to do, just a question on the ir remote, i have the button codes required as i only want to use two, basicly in and out when i change from eyepiece to imaging, the drawtube is as far in for eyepiece and as far out for imaging etc..i found this in your code.. do not uncomment, debug only, print out receive code if wanting to use new keys to do new things // Serial.print("Receive code="); Serial.println(ircode);...

Sorry i updated my last message about 10 minutes after i posted it, you must of missed it at the top?, i did try to delete it but couldnt see an option to, either way it turned out to be a faulty wire from the driver board, im using the pg27 purchased from your link, thanks again

PLEASE IGNORE..Faulty DIR cable Robert i have uploaded the firmware and libraries are in place, your windows software connects to the build no problems, focuser and maximum positions are set, current on the 8825 has been adjusted and looking "feeling" good, only problem im having is the stepper will only go in the same direction whether +100 or -100 is used, ive tried difference ways around with the stepper cables but the motor was from a previous setup and the red/blue black/green applied then as...
