Alpy600 calibration module remote operation

Post by Miguel Rodriguez »

Finally, I've made possible to operate Alpy600 calibration module remotely from my computer, using the same controller module I am using to operate a focuser motor, as I told in another topic:

Seletek module has to output ports. On the first is attached cable to focuser motor. At the second port (EXP) is attached a two way connector which attaches to Alpy calibr. module connectors. At computer, from a program named pinbypin, I can switch ON and OFF pins number 2 and 3. Pin #2 is connected to flat lamp, and #3 is connected to neon lamp.
