Hi!

Great, thanks!

My setup: this is for a C8 with a Moonlite focuser, on which I have attached a stepper motor directly to the focusing shaft (not the microfocuser). My current stepper motor seems to have given up (it's almost 10 years old) so I'm thinking on replacing it. And I've been using a DIY MyFocuserPro box to control it. If I get rid of the control-box, the setup is simpler. And I can now choose which stepper motor to use. Currently, I have 2 steppers lying around: one NEMA 17 wiith no gearbox and one with a 5:1 planetary gearbox. I guess the one with the gearbox is what I need now.

I can freely choose the connectors, and if I use a 1,5 - 2 m cable, I can place my Raspberry below the mount, where I prefer to have it. On my other focusers, I have DB9 connectors, which makes it easy to switch. I like the RJ11 connectors, light and easy, but somehow trust the DB9 more even though bulkier.

Your box looks nice, Kevin - 3D-printed? If so, would you consider sharing the files?
