Sounds a bit too complicated for me. Is there anyone that can add this menu and custom gear function ? If, then all can have use of it what ever gear ratio there is in the mount. That's how it's in the ASCOM version of EQMOD.

I only managed to make the brutal version and direct in the code add my special gear ratio. But then of no use for any other.

I only have this to work for the Astroberry with 32-bit OS. I'm now looking how to get this to work on the new Pi5 64-bits version. Some changes in EQMOD I can see. Now it use the same gear ratio for both RA and DEC, make it easier.

Maybe something like this:

skywatcher.cpp file, about line 770 to 800

if (custom gear ratio == 0/1) // Only if custom gear ratio is enabled from menu
{
*Steps360 = from menu; // for Belt Drive Custom gear ratio
*StepsWorm = from menu; // for Belt Drive Custom gear include RA drift compensation in older versions
*HighspeedRatio = from menu // maybe not necessary
}
