Motor Control
From these buttons you can control the step count of your stepper motor (or pulses if you have a DC motor plugged into DMFC
controller).
Click each button. Each button represents how many steps the motor is going to move forward (+ steps) or backwards (- steps).
Notice that “Position” indicator will change its value and will confirm your command
There are two additional buttons (<<< & >>>) that will forward / reverse accelerate the motor. Keep mouse down and the motor
will start accelerating to the direction you have clicked.
Use these buttons only if you need to quickly move in or out your focuser (be careful not to exceed focuser limits!)
In every motor movement, final position (when motor stops) is stored
after 10 secs into controller’s EEPROM memory
.
This will ensure that next time you power on the controller, last saved position will be retrieved from its memory.
Current Motor Position
Controller continuously (every 500 milisec) reports motor / focuser position. Current
Position
readout can be found at the
control tab. (check image below)
Set A New Motor Position
You can command the motor to move to a new
position. Set the value and click “GO” button.
Motor will start moving to the new position you defined. You can monitor the running motor position on the position readout.
