Calculating ALT_STEPS_PER_REV

Open sebaw1 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello. I am using your project for my purposes and I don't get value of 5.18 when you calculate ALT_STEPS_PER_REV.

#define ALT_STEPS_PER_REV 0. // How many steps the stepper motor needs to complete for a vertical 360degree revolution of the telescope (my setup: 5.18:1 and 3200 : 1 and 105 : 12 = 147840.0)

Thanks for all, great project!

As I understand it, there is a 5.18-1 gearbox there, until I started the connection with Stellarium, I didn’t see it programmatically. I printed out the mechanics from another project, it seemed more reliable to me
