Backward Compatibility for MicroTouch

What if you already own a MicroTouch motor housing and want to continue using it? For owners of
existing MicroTouch motors, Optec offers a special
low cost cable option to control the unipolar
motor of the original Starlight Instruments
MicroTouch. While you won’t enjoy the higher
resolution, higher torque, and
QuickSync
convenience the FocusLynx FT offers, the
FocusLynx controller can drive the MicroTouch
unipolar motor quite well with no other loss of
performance.
A simple MicroTouch motor control cable can be
made from any Ethernet Cat5 cable. Optec offers
complete packages which include the FocusLynx hub and this motor cable, or a full temperature probe
kit to allow temperature compensation with the FocusLynx controller and MicroTouch motor.
FocusLynx Controller Hub configured for MicroTouch motor.
