You should probably watch this ES video completely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_gYiJnEU38&t= It is more about ASCOM over WiFi, but it will make a lot more clear I believe. At 11:38 there is some

Hello Rick, Thanks much for the quick response but I am not sure I understand what to do with this zip file. I am communicating by email on my iMac which is my main computer. I only use a small PC

Hello Kent, As you may recall, I recently purchased this mount & plan to use it primarily for astro photography rather than viewing with my WO Z61 telescope & attached ZWO mini guide scope & camera.

Here is how the protection is implemented -- Jerry Hubbell Vice President of Engineering Explore Scientific, LLC. jrh at explorescientific.com www.explorescientificusa.com 1010 S. 48th

Hi Bob, I can say a couple things about that, as I had the same view when I started this project 6 years ago. After numerous discussions with Scott Roberts over the years, as far as the business model

Jerry, That's an interesting picture. I was trying to figure out why the worm pulley was so small, and then realized that that mount's tooth count explained it. :-) I would think that selling

Thanks Jerry, It's good to know it has reverse polarity protection. But I'm not going to test it! Last year I blew up a €400 synthesizer because I mistakenly plugged in a feed that actually was 9V

Hi Charles, thanks for your question. Yes, the PMC-Eight can be configured and used on any mount as a DIY project. The PMC-Eight Programmer's Reference provides a lot of good information you would

Yes, the mount controller has reverse polarity protection on the 12 Vdc input power. The connector is 2.1 x 5.5 mm with the pin at 12 Vdc. https://www.digikey.com/products/en?keywords=CP-037A-ND Jerry

The PMC Eight will bolt on to a G-11 with the included mounting plates. If you’re getting a second hand G-11, do yourself a favor and get the one piece worm blocks. You will eventually have to

Charles You change the number of pulses per revolution in the app and I think in the ascom driver too.... Why would you buy a exos2-gt and put stepper motors on it and then try to purchase a PMC and

This will depend on the capability of such a converter. I’ve tested with a big powerbank that has a 9 and 12V output option and that seemed to work. On average the power draw was about 5W nominal

I see this thread dates back to November but wanted to make a suggestion / query: Lithium batteries are affordable (compared to LiFePO4) and small enough to carry onto an aircraft (thinking - solar

I believe that the drive pulses and gear ratios can be adjusted to match almost any mount ? Or did I read the information wrong? Doing atm work is something I do enjoy, but why would I buy the G-11

The PMC8 is not integrated to encoders....have to ask Jerry if that is in the cards. The losmandy upgrade employs a TDM to manage the velocity of the shaft and has its own high res encoder not

I believe ES has a kit to upgrade a Losmandy G11 with PMC-Eight GoTo capabilities. It’s not cheap, but that’s relative. Maybe you could use that? To be honest, what you want to do might be more

I am looking at getting the PMC-Eight to convert a non go-to mount into a go-to. From what I have read it seems this would be a nice solution compared to building an on-step, but can encoders be used
