NexStarAdapter

A USB interface for Celestron telescopes using the NexStar AUX protocol.

Description

This is a USB adapter for Celestron NexStar AUX protocol implemented in Arduino. It acts like a hand controller, receiving the commands from the PC (HC procotol) and communicating with the mount (AUX protocol).

Compiling

The code can be compiled using the standard windows Arudino IDE. Jaun has an excellent site on doing this in Linux however my fork is based on Windows only. I am planning to use Mini PC for observatory control.

Enclosure

The CAD directory contains an STL model of the enclosure I use, which was created with openSCAD. It requires an Arduino Nano and a small breadboard.
