I'm wouldn't say I'm an expert or a noob, I have a general knowledge of arduino and coding, I currently have a 2 axis rig which is taken from a telescope, it has 2 stepper motors controlling gear drivers to the axis, and the motors are then fed into 2 DRV8825 drivers on a CNC Stepper shield. These are driven using the step and dir pins to provide the number of steps and directions.
I've had this running fine and moves the exact steps I need.
However I am trying to follow a tutorial which allows your 2 axis telescope rig to connect to the windows app Stellarium and track stars. Since this tutorial uses encoders rather than stepper drivers that use DRV8825, I'm quite lost where I could potentially re-place the encoders with DRV8825 driver boards.
I'm more than sure it would be possible, because I trust the steppers to move the exact number of steps given, they don't slip and are very frictionless.
This is the tutorial
I may be wrong in thinking this is the correct area to post this, but if it is could someone gide me to somewhere that I would get more help.
The code is in the tutorial link, I won't post a code snippet as I have not yet changed the code.
But my aim is to intergrate or replace the encoders with DRV8825 stepper drivers for 2 Axis's
