Can I use SatPC32 with my SatNOGS rotor?

Hey!

@ab4ej

H/W maybe the 12v power supply I have is not able to supply enough current to reliably move the motors at full speed.

Move stepper motor without load (unscrew the pulley of motor).

@ab4ej

H/W maybe I have the max current setting pots on the stepper driver cards set wrong.

Tune the current of stepper motor driver

@ab4ej

S/W maybe there is a configuration or setting I need to make so that the Arduino sends the right pulses to the steppers, and/or has a different max speed or pulse width.

Tune max speed and acceleration,

A new version of 5.18 geared nema rotator

Hey! An example: The speed = 300steps/s and acceleration = 100steps/s^2 with 1.8 deg/step stepper motor full step gear ratio 54 means speed = 10deg/s and acceleration = 3.3deg/s^2 according to this function. In your setup you want to achieve the same speed and acceleration (10deg/s and 3.3deg/s^2) but with different gear ratio.

@ab4ej

• S/W maybe the firmware I have is for a later version of the hardware that has a different gear ratio (seems unlikely)
• S/W maybe it is insane trying to control this system using manually supplied commands, because it needs a bunch of config items to be sent by hamlib before it will move correctly (seems unlikely)

Are you using this firmware?
