Recent Updates - (not up to date)
Update
Added Standard Deviation for slope calculations to help determine use of UP or DWN
--Not uploaded yet pending star tests |
New Version 3
Complete revision:(Many changes summarized)
Added Slope/intercept calculation
-selectable w/ radiobutton
Datatable and Gridview
-stored in SQL database
Added max/min HFR selection to mark linear portion of v-curve
Goto focus moves to near focus position then based on that HFR, goes to best focus
-stays on one side of focus point so no need for backalsh compensation
-can select use of up or down side
Automatically connects to single port
-connect button turns green
Added 6 equipment selections
-stored in settings
Maintains directory in settings with closing
Movement delay helps prevent movement during capture
|
More Arduino Updates
Finished Direction toggle
-toggles directions by entering 0 or 1, useses EEPROM storage
-added error handling
Added escape using # to go back in menus |
Several Arduino Updates -- Close to final version
Added goto progress bar Added second page of setup menu (#,#,D gets there)
-Backlash compensation (number of steps) stored in EEPROM
-Adjust stepper delay ("wait") = stepper pulse width/1000 in microseconds
-Direction control (pending)
Fixed stepper delay discrepancy with goto versus encoder (now in microseconds)
Added course function to backlight adjustment with button
-also added < zero and exceeds maximum error message for backlight adjustment
|
Major Arduino Improvements
Stored positions now use EEPROM
-no need to re-enter after power cycle
Increased motor torque
-uses a standby function so enable stays on until no movement for 1 second
Setup Menu (press #,#)
-adjust backlight w/ rotary encoder
-set maximum travel (stored in EEPROM)
-set high speed rate
-manual LCD display
Back to using 4x20 NetMedia LCD
|
Arduino Update
Improved Position Sync -added error handling for null and high values Established limits on Arduino for max travel -high speed slows when approaching zero and max travel -stops at zero and max travel -error message if entered goto value exceed maximum travel Fixed display pulsing -clears only when number of digits changes -Removed speed display Improved keypad entry timing |
Major Arduino Updates
Added Button on rotary encoder box to enable high speed -momentary (nl. open) push-button connects SpeedSelectPin to ground -twenty steps per click Added keypad (4x4) for improved manual control -ABCD keys are preset focus points -Push letter to store location, push again to confirm, "*" to abort -Manual goto position entry by pushing "#" follow numeric position or preset ABC or D from above LCD display |
