EQ Guide
A controller for an equatorial tracking platform with OLED interface, orientation sensing, tracking modes, camera triggering, and stepper control.
01 / Overview
EQ Guide combines orientation feedback, user-selectable tracking behavior, and coordinated camera and motor control for an equatorial platform.
Objectives
- Provide multiple tracking modes
- Surface status through an OLED interface
- Coordinate camera triggering and stepper-motor movement
