myESP32S3-N16R8 Focus Controller
Hi Another quick update. This, without a doubt, is probably the most difficult of all the projects, else on par with the mySQM+ project, in size and complexity. A significant portion of code has enhanced this above and beyond being a "simple" focuser to one that really standa alone. Much thinking and foresight has gone into "remote observatory" and that will be expanded on in the early videos. I think it handles that well, but, at the other end of the spectrum, this can also do the job of backyard...

11-March-2026 Update Hi Ok most things are uploaded now, including the TMC boards. There was a raft of changes, so I would suggest if you had downloaded files before today 11-March-2026 that you dump those files and download the newer ones. I would suggest start by reading Part1 pdf. It will cover what you need to know as well as help determine what you will build, Every hour you spend now on documents will save you 10+ more hours later on. This really is a case of read the manual. There are TWO...

myFP2ESP32-Dev WiFi ASCOM Focuser
Hi attached is the library. I am not sure if this works with the latest firmware, from memory it was never tested. Use the arduino sketch menu - library add zip file to add the library first. It might not work because the newer esp32 cores changed the way in which timers are assigned and the parameters used - it changed from a small number of dedicated timers 1..3 ? but in the newer cores they are not numbered - call them general purpose - and all the init calls etc are different. I am currently...

Arduino ASCOM Focuser Pro2 DIY
Its not meant to buzz with pushbuttons, The leds do that to indicate the button press. The purpose of buzzer is Indicates self test is complete and focuser is ready for use When used with rotary encoder, beeps indicate various settings of the rotary encoder. Regards Robert
