I am not an EE, so when reading the schematics which I generally can, how do I quantify/size a component?

Dear Lesvedome User, I am pleased to introduce the MagicWire project. As the title says, this is a simple, low-cost way of operating an observatory shutter in a Lesvedome controlled observatory using

--Hello everybody. After the problem of the jerky dome that I solved thanks to your advice, now I have another one: the dome does not point precisely where the telescope is, but a little more to the r

Hi all LesveDome users I wish you a Happy New Year with a lot of clear skies. Many thanks to users who help others, I really appreciate your contribution to the discussion group. Clear skies Pierre Pi

Hi all --. Suddenly the dome turns not constantly but in jerks, i.e. it stops and then starts again. He had never done that. I also have buttons to make it move without using drivers and if I use thes

Hi, i think i have hooked up everything properly but for some reason my dome will not go for more than 0.5 degree +- in the CCW direction. It goes fine in the diagnostics tool though. Here are two pic

Hello everyone! I am in the process of automating my Dome with lesvedome. As both motors (Azimuth and shutter) are mounted on the moving part of the dome, all I would need is a wireless USB-connection

I've been using the Velleman HAA27 reed switch for the home sensor. Unfortunately this has been unreliable, I feel like the cold weather may be the issue as it always seems to trigger when I test duri

I am running a stepper with a built in driver on it at 36V. I am trying to determine from the C Harrow schematic just where the output off the Board is coming from. Which locations on the schematic is

Hello, I have successfully tested Lesvedome and my DIY encoder last weekend with an imaging run - first light through the shutter, so to say! The next step is to put the electronics in a nice cabinet

I'm working on the Azimuth Sensor patterned after the Exploradome example. Is there a reason to stick with the 24 hole configuration on the wheel or does it make sense to drop it to 12 holes. My drive

After much mucking about trying to reconcile wheel diameters with dome diameters, and having different numbers come up each rotation in the test software, I have achieved close a match to the mount an

Hi everyone, I have finished the whole wiring diagram, the degrees are read by the sensor, I can rotate the dome with the astronomy software. But I can't find the lesvedome.net user interface, it just

First, the good news: I finally got my dome rotating and responding to the encoder counts. The numbers are all wrong, but that's just something to play with. Now, the odd bit: I am running a set of re

Is there a way to wire a hydreon rg-11 to a 2nd board using the new watchdog program from Pierre and have it send a park command to rotate the dome to shutter contacts and shut the shutters? I have a
