The bootloader is required if you are making your own AstroEQ board
using the ATMega162. If you have bought a kit or ready assembled board
from me, this is not needed.

There was a minor bug in the goto speed settings which could cause short
goto's to move at the wrong speed.

The Goto speed factor can now be set using the Configuration Utility.
This factor is a multiple of the Sidereal rate, e.g. if Goto Speed = 2,
then the mount will move at 2x sidereal rate for gotos.

Photographs of a simple mod that adds ST4 support to AstroEQ. Requires
the latest firmware revision to work.

This reverts commit 5ff80419.

This simple mod gives AstroEQ full support for ST4 guiding. The latest
firmware revision is required.

This mod allows you to add ST4 capabilities to AstroEQ. It requires the
latest firmware to work.

Mount would not be programmed if there was a space in the filename. Also
font on XP was rendered incorrectly.

Split the zip archive from my previous commit into smaller chunks as
12MB is too big to download.

It is now possible to use AstroEQ for autoguiding with or without a
computer attached. Existing hardware requires minor modification to
enable ST4 support.

Version 6.0 Has been released. It is recommended that everyone upgrade.
Also, the documentation has been updated.

Added utility for configuring AstroEQ6 Firmware.

Version 6.0 Has been released. It is recommended that everyone upgrade.
Also, documentation has been updated.

AstroEQ6 has been released and is better than ever!

Code base on original AstroEQ firmware. some stuff like scalar and rate calculation refinement are removed to simplify the code and to be as efficient as possible. Synta commands are not in a separate library since it also add some efficiency to the probale detriment of code lisibility.
Hardware wiring ideas will be published in a next commit

Older hardware designs have been removed, and the repository cleaned up.
The License file has also been updated.

Also added support for using the Pololu A4983 board rather than the DRV8824 chips.

For those with the same gear ratio on each mount, this update doesn't affect you.
