| Fun with serial cables |
Jonathan and I had a productive (if occasionally frustrating) evening out at Kumeu. Although the weather was awful (so we didnt actually open the dome) Jonathan installed the finder and the shipping/lock and safety bolts, we have had the computer controlling the mount using (I need to make up a more permanent connector), confirmed the dome rotates under power, and also confirmed the Velleman board (used for the dome rotation system) works by using the test program and i can slew and reverse the dome fro the PC
Still do do: (not exhaustive)
- Permanent wiring for serial connection PC to Paramount
- Connect and Set up TCF
- Route 12v power cables for dome rotation and dew heater
- Tidy all cables box for Velleman board
- Connect camera
- Set up Lesvedome
- Polar alignment
- TPoint Mapping
