Thank you! I have only done cursory searches around a conversion.
I LOVE the retro feel of chonky skysensor so I would love to figure out how to keep the original motors and 5 pin plug. I have the original manuals and since the circuits are chonky too I suspect it would not be hard to make something compatible even without a bench scope.
This is a great link, I will dig through and see if someone has done what I want already.
- teamonkey 3y agoIt's quite possible that it has a ST-4 style guide port, which simply has 4 pins for slewing in each of the 4 directions + 1 common pin. https://astrophotosite.com/tiki-index.php?page=ST-4 https://astrophotosite.com/tiki-index.php?page=ST-4
- leetrout 3y agoIt has two 5 pin DIN ports, one to each motor and an RS232C for connecting to a PC so I dont think that is compatible. I appreciate the link since that gives me more to research. I am going to have to tear down the mount and see if the motors are marked with their ratios and such based on what I am reading this morning.
