Motorized Telescope (Dobson Mount)

These are the stl files required to motorize my (and I guess a few similar) dobsonian telescope. I decided to use only 3D printed parts and parts that came from my old 3D printer. So if you have a spare 3D printer and a spare telescope - why not have a go? I provided STL, as well as STEP files.

## Hardware

* Arduino Mega or Due
* RAMPS 1.4 (for the Mega)
* or RAMPS FD (for the Due)
* 2 stepper motors (see below; TODO)


## Software

You can find the required code and some additional instructions over at: https://github.com/ThisIsJustARandomGuy/dobson-star-tracker

Just run the sketch in the Arduino IDE and have a look at the config.h file. If anything is unclear, either open an issue or comment here and I'll address the problem.

You can either control the telescope via a serial connection (e.g. via the Ariduino IDE), or using Stellarium. Stellarium is Open Source software and can be used to point the telescope at various locations. You can get it at: https://stellari
