Please see http://www.astroeq.co.uk/downloads for release notes.

For improved tracking, AstroEQ now uses either 1/4 stepping or 1/32th
microstepping.
Please download the new config utility to get the new firmware.
This change only applies to DRV8825 chips. If you have an A4988 chip,
you can use the new firmware but it will be no different from 6.8.
If you have legacy hardware, please see the upgrade information.

Changed some of the Software Wiki pics to match the current version of
the Configuration Utility.

S-V6.8: Faster processing of Serial commands for better guiding
responsiveness. You can use the config utility to fetch the new
firmware.
H-V4.3: Minor PCB rearrangement to make soldering and assembly easier.
Nothing changed electrically.

Update to reduce low speed acceleration times to improve guiding. You
can use the 'check for update' button in the config utility to download
the new firmware.

It is now possible to update the controller from a Raspberry Pi or other
armhf platforms

Updated structure of apt repo

Seperated packages based on architecture. Added armhf version for
raspberri pi - beta.

Linux users can now install astroequploader through apt-get. Add the
following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb https://github.com/TCWORLD/AstroEQ/raw/master/repo stable main

Reduces the likely hood of the utility failing to read or write to the
EEPROM (stalls at :G110). If this does still occur, simply try again,
you shouldn't have to unplug or power off the controller!

Update to the config utility. It will now reset the microcontroller
before beginning readback and download of the configuration values. This
may cure the dreaded :G110 error.

New & improved acceleration and deceleration routines. Fixed PHD Guiding
issues. Please download new config utility as this was also patched!

For those using Linux (Ubuntu or Debian), you can now use the
configuration utility. EQMOD can be successfully run under WINE allowing
Linux users to take advantage of AstroEQ. However AstroEQ Configuration
could not. Now there is a native Linux version of the config utility.

There was a glitch that prevented the config utility from finding new
firmware versions. This has now been fixed. Please download the new
config utility so that you can receive new firmware versions in the
future.

6.3 fixes a glitch which causes the mount to not decelerate under EQMOD
Rate Limiting. Everyone is advised to update to this version.
Also included is a never version of the Config utility which can now
check for new firmware versions.

Rate Limiting. Everyone is advised to update to this version.

Updated driver that is being used with new boards. Existing boards will
work with this driver as well, though there is no need to upgrade if you
already have the driver installed.

Uploading the source code for the version released in commit #61acc27b

Patch to cure the RA axis moving at twice as fast as it should when
microstepping is disabled.

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!
