I am using the Firmware from Kevin Ferrares GitHub Page and the Driver which is available in Astroberry.
It seems to work in between, i can trigger the Outputs via manual Guiding. Maybe i Had a faulty cable.

I even got the Cam running, but wasn't able to check it with Stars yet. Unser daylight conditions its useless.

I came along Arduino-ST4 and gave it a try.
The Arduino ist running aß it should, but i cant Trigger it with PHD2 or KStars, the Driver ist available but it doesn't work.
Any hints where to Check If Astroberry hast connected to the Arduino serial Port?

Hi,

th GuideScope is taken from the OpenAstroTracker Project OAT - Github

This is the 3D Design:

Here is a Pic of the printed Scope mounted to my Sigma 150-600mm Tele

Hello and sorry for diggin' this up

I am currently looking for a way to guide my SkyWatcher StarAdventurer via Astroberry, but i can't find a propper way to connect the mounts ST4 Port.
My Guide-Scope is taken from the OpenAstroTracker-Project OpenAstroTracker . Github(github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroTracker) . The Guide-Scope is 3D-Printed and uses a IMX290 Sensor Webcam Module. there is no ST4 Port on it, so i need to create this signal sepparately. Using the GPIO would be perfect, cause i wouldn't need some extra Box or stuff.

Did you manage to port your driver to RasPi?

No, its completely DIY with a IMX290 Sensor Webcam-Board and a 3D printed Tubus, Just a camera, no ready to use Guide Scope.

Thanx, i'll Take a look

Hi there,

I'm new to the board, cause i'm looking for a way to use a IMX290 Camera in a 3D printed Guide-Scope to add guiding to my Star-Adventurer Mount.
I've found several USB Boxes, but they're all ASCOM driven.

Is there a "simple" way to use the Pi's GPIO for controlling the ST4 of the Mount directly?
...and is it possible to have Astroberry control it?

I've spent hours of searching for something Like that but maybe im looking for the wrong topics...

Creating a PCB with opto-couplers and stuff would be the easy part for me since i'm an electrician, doing code would be way Harder.

Hoping for some help.
