This is an InfraRed remote control option

The new updated board hw203 version replaces the old board and schematic
and uses the Focuservxxxir_DRV8825_HW203_F.ino firmware


MAKE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT FIRMWARE (differences are in the way the DRV8825 is connected, in
the first version it uses a sub-board, in HW203 it is mounted on the same strip board as the
Nano and M2/M0 are reversed)
 

Limited functions supported - shows basic concept
Maximum Range about 5-8 meters
Needs direct line of sight between IR receiver and remote control
IR reciever must be mounted on outside of case
At present replaces the push button switches
Focuser can move +1, -1, +50 -50 and reset position to 0
If the code is changed more functions could easily be added

ONLY THE SUGGESTED HX1828NEX REMOTE CONTROLLER IS SUPPORTED
OTHER CONTROLLERS PROBABLY WILL NOT WORK

This is provided purely as an example, but it does work!


NOT COMPATIBLE WITH L293D SHIELD OPTION

RECOMMENDED ONLY FOR USE WITH DRV8825 AND EASYDRIVER OPTION

CANNOT BE USED WITH THE ROTARY ENCODER OPTION (ONE OR THE OTHER - NOT BOTH)
