      AstroEQ Version 7.0 Release · ea96ab19
      Thomas Carpenter authored
      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.

      Added Linux version of AstroEQ Configuration Utility · 3df8e529
      Thomas Carpenter authored
      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.

      Added Bootloader for Atmega162 · b1044a05
      Thomas Carpenter authored
      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.
