Software releases have been moved to a new repo!

Please see the Firmware repo for Arduino firmware, and the Desktop repo for OATcontrol and ASCOM drivers.

Arduino V1.8.53 and OATControl V0.9.9.14

Arduino (OAT Firmware)

• EEPROM fixes (clear on DOWN, bug fixes)
• Tracking indicator now always visible on LCD.
• Support for local build configurations
• Support for defining parking positing and DEC movement limits (all relative to home position).
• Added Meade LX200 commands (GPS, Digital Level, EEPROM clearing)
• Bug fixes related to DEC guiding, tracking turning off randomly and jumping during slew.
• Removed Uno and ESP8266 support.
• Added support for Bluetooth and I2C LCD shield.
• Roll leveling is now part of startup if you have the Digital Level addon.

OATControl (Windows control software)

• Progress bar shows slew distance.
• Connection dialog is more of a wizard, and adds support for leveling and GPS.
• Polar Alignment uses levelling and has a better flow.
• Stability improvements and smaller bug fixes.

1.8.18 Update

edit: This is of course meant to be version 1.8.x, not 1.7

Arduino:

• Added support for NEMA steppers with TMC2209 drivers
• Added support for ALT/AZ steppers
• Added GPS module support (e.g. Neo6m)
• Added support for electronic leveling with MPU6050 module
• Added support for INDI control with the Meade LX200 classic or GPS driver
• A ton of bugfixes and small tweaks

OATcontrol:

• Added display of safe remaining tracking time
• Added progress bars for slews
• Bugfixes

1.7.15 Update

Arduino:

• fixed values from Cal menu not saving properly
• fixed a small error in Polar Alignment routine
• fixed a small bug with sync

OATcontrol:

• Added manual slew speed adjustment
• Fixed some bugs for users that arent in the US

1.7.04 Update

In this Release:

Beta Version of OATcontrol, a windows application for controlling the OAT. Bugs are expected!

Arduino improvements:

• Various performance improvements
• Various bug fixes
• added ESP8266 and ESP32 support
• Added ability to calibrate RA and DEC steps from CAL menu and store in persistent memory
• Changed LCD display to display RA and DEC coordinates instead of stepper position
• Added NEMA support
• Added support for backlash compensation
• Added automatic pin assignments for boards
• Better support for southern hemisphere
• Interrupt-driven motors

Various changes to the Arduino code.

Thank you /u/clutchplate and /u/EorEquis !

1.5.22 fix

Quick fix for the wrong trackingspeed calculation.

POL menu is gone in this version, as a temporary solution i changed the coordinates for Polaris in the POI menu, use that the same way the POL menu would work
