It 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 moto

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

I will definitely check this out! For anyone that could offer thoughts: I have a ~1985 celestron c8 with the skysensor computer. The skysensor uses and 1950 epoch and is definitely not y2k compliant :D What is the best way to find a 19xx ye

Congrats on shipping! I will give this a try in a couple hours when I get my day started. You are about double the cost of my current tool, mindmup[0], so for me personally there is a change cost that will have to be overcome by a much bett

Follow on, my biggest frustration with these super thin, clingy shirts is how _everyone_ is showing their nipples through them now.

Sibling linked to the book. It took me a week or so. Now that I know what is going on I could do it in a couple days with additional libraries. I didnt use the popular Go vector library.

The way you have to do math with vectors without operator overloading available in Go is quite cumbersome. I am a huge Go fan and I figured this out working on the raytracer in a weekend project using Go.

A lot of "serverless" things are really on-demand timesharing. One example of "serverless postgres" in my opinion would mean data is on a blob store and you only pay when running queries and for the static storage. Basic
