[APML] Computerized Barndoor Tracker



Hello!  I’d like to get some more information regarding computerized Barndoor Trackers.  As I develop my 4x5 inch camera, it seems that exposures will need to be 10 to 30 minutes in duration.  I thought I would try a single arm barndoor tracker instead of piggybacking it to my 8 inch LX200.

 

I saw Tom Kracji’s note from a couple of years ago.  I am not very code or electronics literate, but I can follow explicit directions on making the board and working with the computer code.  Can anyone direct me to info regarding the construction of a daughter board to connect a stepper to an old laptop, and info regarding the code to rive the stepper?  Thank you and best regards.

 

Mike Heald
